South as a State of Mind is a magazine that was founded by Marina Fokidis in Athens in 2012. Beginning in 2015, the magazine temporarily became the documenta 14 journal, publishing four special issues biannually until the opening of the exhibition in Athens and Kassel in 2017. The first three issues are available in English, German, and Greek here.
