There is an unmistakable stillness inhabiting Dmitri Plehanov‘s photography, one that emerges long before the viewer begins to decipher the details of the image. Working from Moscow, the Russian photographer has devoted much of his artistic practice to nude and portrait photography, developing a visual language where beauty is never […]
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.

Angel Fang found a chunk of its audience the way a lot of music finds people now, through a Reel at 1 am, no context, just a sound that wouldn’t leave. Behind it is a California-based musician who spent a long stretch unhappy with the music he was making before […]
Jake Sinetos aka Mazmere spent years pulling ‘David’ apart and putting it back together, never quite trusting it was finished. What changed was that the song stopped resisting him. Released on David’s birthday instead of the anniversary of his death, the track sits alongside three others built with longtime collaborators […]

Rather than erasing or covering them, he approaches these marks as material, fragile records of memory that can be re-read through art. His ongoing “Bullet Transformation Project” begins with […]
