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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

In cities shaped by years of conflict, Iraqi artist Mukhaled Habeeb works directly with the physical traces that violence leaves behind. 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 […]
Hong Kong-born, Paris-based artist Wallace Woo concludes a landmark solo exhibition that has sparked genuine debate across the European art world, introducing a movement that trades speed for depth, and ego for earth. What does it mean to slow down in an era that mistakes velocity for vision? Wallace Woo […]
Diego Barrera moves between Mexico City and Berlin carrying an interesting intellectual baggage. Germanic and Slavic linguistics on one side, a doctorate in theology on the other, yet in his case, none of it feels ornamental or distant. It seeps into the work in a way that’s almost structural, as […]
