Emergence (Limited Edition of 250)

DescriptionJoseph Rutakangwa grew up in Tanzania during years of deep upheaval, his family losing everything more than once. What followed was a long process of rising, learning, and rebuilding. Those early years impressed on him a need for steadiness in a world that often shifts without warning. As he moved through different fields of work and creation, Joseph kept searching for structure inside uncertainty. Over time that search gathered shape and eventually became Rwazi, a decision platform designed to bring foresight where instinct and pressure once dominated. Joseph gives deeply, anchored by presence. His emergence is shaped by intuition, quiet recalibration, and a commitment to direction over destination. Giacomo Brunelli develops a practice that is both instinctive and exacting. His images, shaped through a physical engagement with the world, rely on contrast, simplicity and immediacy to capture what usually escapes attention. He moves, observes and waits, letting situations unfold on their own. This approach produces photographs that are direct, stripped down and anchored in an unembellished reality. For Emergence, the first book of The 11 Collection created with Joseph Rutakangwa, this sensibility finds a precise resonance. Brunelli’s work reveals how an inner force becomes visible and operative. His contribution gives the inaugural volume a visual intensity that supports its ambition: to show how what drives a person begins to surface, take form and translate into action. Newfund and Éditions Bessard come together around a shared conviction that meaningful work begins with people. Pierre Bessard’s artisanal and ecological approach, expressed through risograph printing, resonates with Newfund’s way of investing, where financial performance and human relationships advance together. Their collaboration on The 11 Collection reflects a common appetite for experimentation, for stepping outside comfort zones, and for avoiding the narrow silos that shape much of today’s creative and business worlds.
