Prim Magazine
Prim Magazine was founded by Prim in April 2008 at the age of 14, with the financial backing of her parents. This qualified her as the youngest print publication editor worldwide. Prim Magazine has collaborated with designers among the likes of Jeremy Scott, Vena Cava, A.F. Vandevorst, Rad Hourani, and Ohne Titel. Its last edition, N°11, stars top model Dioni Tabbers on the cover photographed by the London photographer, Masayuki Ichinose.
A23
In 2015, Prim founded A23, a hardcover biannual art book that commissions nine fine artists to contribute original work to each edition. Its first themed volume, The Mysticism of the Female, included works from artists Mary Beth Edelson, Theo Adams, Luciano Castelli, Heide Hatry, Katarzyna Kozyra, Annegret Soltau, Nil Yalter, Shary Boyle, and Natacha Merritt. A23 is "named after the divination of the Aces, Twos, and Threes of the Minor Arcana" and "highlights the talent of nine fine artists and their 'personal ideologies, experiences, and dogmas in an archival visual manner.'"
The Provocateur
In early 2016, Prim launched The Provocateur, a digital archive of handwritten letters written by venerated females within the arts to fellow women. With new letters published each Monday, The Provocateur is a feminist project in scope, calling on culture's leading women to lend articles of advice to young women. The Provocateur has included collaborators such as Janet Mock, Shirley Manson, Paz de la Huerta, Myla Dalbesio, Nancy Jo Sales, Floria Sigismondi, and Amanda Palmer.
Fine Artwork
In mid-2013 Prim released a limited collective oeuvre of her fine artwork, varying from photography to paintings and typewritten works. In a 2013 interview with Volt Magazine, Prim discussed the themes and inspirations behind her work, often involving androgyny, martyrdom, sexuality, gender, and the female form.
