Introspection by Carole Glauber: Exploring Light, Memory, and Ambiguity

Her photographic practice is shaped by interests in history and biography and, from there, develops through her experiences, observations, and sense of spontaneity, curiosity, and intuition. Over the years, her work has focused on people and places, sometimes close and intimate and sometimes more distant, but always evolving from her personal journeys and quiet exploration.

Francesco Mercadante’s Printed Dreams: A Chromatic Journey Through the Invisible

In the space suspended between thought and its manifestation, ‘Printed Dreams’ take shape not as reflections of reality, but as architectures of the invisible. This is a study that explores the very nature of perception: what remains of us when the world fragments and light decides to break down into new emotional alphabets?

JH Engström’s Tout Va Bien: A Fragmented Story of Life and Perception

Settled between forests, fields, and lakes, this work unfolds from within a life in transition, where watching children grow becomes inseparable from observing the passing of time itself. Doubt and time operate not as obstacles but as essential tools, shaping a way of seeing that moves between silence and language, between what can be named and what resists articulation

Exploring Welcome to the Dark Side by Beyti Barbaros

Duality has always been at the center of my curiosity. Not in the obvious sense of opposites, but in the quiet tension between states of being—the moment something exists fully, and the moment it begins to transform.

Jonathan Meese Buch der Bücher Annotated Catalogue Raisonne 1993 – 2025

Jonathan Meese is one of those artists compelled by an unseen, yet pernicious, towering force that many of us cannot recognize as anything else but a steam engine powered by Satan and maybe curry wurst, lager, and a cartoonish desire to paint the times as a disgraceful embodiment of human spirit, causality, scum, and victory.

L is for Look Children’s Photobooks

In the ever-expanding historiography of photobook culture and history, once we escape the tedium of nationalism embedded in the ceaseless photobooks from “X” country, we can finally begin to untie genre, and to make sense of what attitudes that exceed these nationalistic behaviors have been present in the making of books throughout the 20th and […]

Andrew Ellis Touch Echoes the Soil

Andrew Ellis Touch Echoes the Soil

There has rightfully been what I might consider an epidemic of navel-gazing in American photography over the last decade. It sounds awful to say it that way, and maybe to unburden the semantic load of the navel, I might consider it inward, or soul searching, if that is more palatable. When I mention this, it […]

Sarah Schumann Shock Collages 1957-1964

The life of Sarah Schumann should be much better known to the world. As a proponent of the New Women’s Movement, a talented painter, collagist, designer, and all-around life of post-war intrigue suggests a profound tie to the German movements of the mid-century, and yet, like many artists, particularly female artists of the Twentieth Century, […]

Paul Virilio Bunker Archaeology

Paul Virilio Bunker Archaeology

First published in 1975, Paul Virilio’s Bunker Archaeology has become a classic between categories of production.

I was never accustomed to the tall tales of muchroom pickling that pervade Europe. Mildly aware of the phenomenon back in Wisconsin around the spring movements of the morel mushroom picking season, born to a family of hunters, I did not grasp the essential nature of mushrooms and fungi until quite late in my lifetime.

Yorgos Lanthimos i shall sing these songs beautifully

So, I’ve never watched a single one of Lanthimos’s films. Maybe this will change in the near future. Dunno. I am aware that I do not know a Dog’s tooth from a Frog’s gooch. In order to subvert my programming, which some of my more learned friends insisting that I am already in denial over […]
