Useless Fighters

Useless Fighters is an innovative magazine that focuses on the multifaceted relationship between mountains and themes such as culture, politics, identity and sport. It aims to move away from conventional representations of alpine tourism and winter recreation, presenting a more nuanced understanding of mountain regions.

The magazine includes contributions from a variety of artists, photographers and fashion designers, such as Francis Alÿs, Lea Colombo and Philippe Parreno. Through different media—such as photography, fashion and storytelling—it highlights the lives of those who interact with mountain environments, offering fresh perspectives and stories.

Published twice a year by PERMANENT.FILES , Useless Fighters seeks to redefine our perception of mountains, going beyond the traditional tourist prism to explore their meaning and their global impact on contemporary culture.
