Iris van Herpen has brought one of the universe’s most elusive materials onto the couture runway, creating a dress that uses glowing plasma-filled glass elements to respond to the touch and movement of the person wearing it. Unveiled during Paris Couture Week as part of her “Sonic Starquakes” collection, “Helix […]
Pepa Ivanova’s practice begins with attention: to ecosystems in motion, to species that migrate and adapt, to invisible forces that shape the living world, and to the traces human activity leaves behind. Working across ecology, technology, research and social observation, she follows connections that are easy to overlook, allowing scientific […]
Dmytry Krapivin works from Kraków, Poland, creating photographs that seem to carry their own weather, their own temperature, their own private mythology. Across his series, tenderness and desire inhabit the same frame with remarkable ease, while a certain fairy-tale quality settles quietly over the images. There is an elegance to […]
Evgeny Batievsky belongs to that rare category of artists whose creative language refuses to remain within a single discipline. Based in Sochi, the Russian photographer moves between visual storytelling, sound engineering and DJ culture, carrying something from each field into the next. Rhythm, atmosphere, tension and silence find their way […]

There is a quiet conviction running through Sergey Reyder‘s photography, one that refuses to separate the body from the mind or intimacy from thought. Working within the language of nude photography, the Russian visual artist approaches every image as an emotional construction rather than a visual statement. His photographs unfold […]
Diana Boariu photographed long before she wrote. Her own body, especially, she looked at it the way you’d look at a photo that hadn’t developed yet, something she didn’t quite recognize. She writes only at night, because that’s the one hour she can’t hide from herself. There’s one poem she […]
In Nikolay Bobrovskiy’s photographs, the body is never treated as an object to be displayed. It becomes a place of encounter, between light and skin, presence and absence, vulnerability and self-possession. His images unfold slowly, with an attention that refuses haste. What emerges is not simply the nude figure, but […]
