Ekaterina Iakiamseva moves through photography with the instinct of someone who distrusts surfaces. The image, for her, is never a simple record, never an obedient witness. It becomes a site of tension, a controlled disturbance where the visible is pushed to the edge of collapse. Light functions as a governing […]
The Romanian post-punk scene is coming back to life and, somehow, being rediscovered after many years of numbness. Lately, it has managed to throw into the world a series of compositions, entire albums, even, that deserve to be taken seriously on the international stage. We are talking, therefore, about young […]
Dmitry Krapivin, a Russian photographer with more than twelve years behind the lens, has built his visual language around the austere seduction of black-and-white portraiture. In the absence of color, something more volatile surfaces: the texture of a gaze, the quiet defiance of a posture, the fragile electricity between photographer […]
Alexander Kostromin is one of those rare visual artists whose creative universe has crystallized around nude photography with an almost mystical coherence, as though a quiet constellation of unseen forces had leaned toward his sensibility and left behind a particular clarity of perception. His images carry the density of stories […]
Alexey Pavlov’s lens moves with a quiet insistence, tracing the human form as if it were a language older than memory, spoken in the tremor of skin and the pause of breath. His images breathe a poetry rooted in Russian sensibilities, where naturalness is neither affectation nor restraint, but a […]
Margaux Lange works with Barbie the way an archivist works with evidence. Carefully, deliberately, without nostalgia softening the edges. In the “Plastic Body Series,“ fragments of the world’s most recognizable doll are pulled from circulation and given another life through jewelry that sits somewhere between relic and declaration. The materials […]
On a forgotten basketball court in Ufa, where the asphalt has learned the language of neglect and rust speaks more fluently than children ever did, Timur Lutfullin stages a quiet liturgy. “Basketball as a New Religion” (2025) does not scream belief; it whispers devotion through absence, through bodies placed gently […]
Entering Yi Ling’s world is like stepping into a lucid dream where the ordinary trembles at the edge of the surreal. From the streets and quiet corners of Taiwan, she draws the minutiae of daily life and transforms them into tableaux that are at once intimate and confrontational. Her work […]
Chasing Dolls show up like a welcome glitch in the system: everything shifts, everything vibrates, nothing behaves, and that’s exactly the point. They’re the sort of band that turns sleep deprivation into religion, skateparks into sanctuaries, and personal disasters into plot twists. If you’re meeting them for the first time, […]
In June 2025, Moscow-based photographer Ilya Fomin journeyed to Merzhanovo, a secluded corner of Russia’s Rostov Oblast, to create a new series that reads as a visual poem. Nestled near the Sea of Azov, Merzhanovo’s quiet fields, traditional rural rhythms, and untouched landscapes form the perfect crucible for Fomin’s explorations […]
