Thurbot by Arthur Nieuwenhuys: When AI Attacks the Photographer’s Work

 “Other photographers use AI to make their work better. I use it to attack mine.” The photography world has made its peace with artificial intelligence. You enhance the sky. You remove the noise. You run the image through a model, and it comes back cleaner, sharper, more itself, or more than itself, which is the same thing.

Istanbul’s Silent Shapes Between Architecture and Daily Life by Golnaz Abdoli

Where lines and curves merge with the pulse of time, weaving stories that only shapes can tell. Istanbul isn’t just a city; it’s a place where everything has a shape that tells a story. Walking through Istanbul, it feels as though the city itself is alive, breathing through its windows and ancient walls.

Giuseppe Satriani Divina Reimagining The Divine Comedy Through AI Art

Dante is considered the greatest Italian poet. Divina Commedia is the apotheosis of his genius and the nightmare for many students. I was lucky when I was 15 years old that my teacher was able to make me understand Dante through a language that facilitated the visualization of what the verses were telling. Gustave Doré’s illustrations played a fundamental role in this process.

Rodeos are a global phenomenon, appearing in various forms across many regions and countries. Yet certain events stand out for their distinct character, scale, and atmosphere. The Kapunda Rodeo in South Australia is one such example: a professionally sanctioned event on the Australian Professional Rodeo Association calendar that retains the heart of a family-friendly country gathering.

On the Other Side by Ramón Medina: Shadows, Glass, and Fragmented Reality

As photographers, we are always on the other side, looking at life through our viewfinder, selecting what interests us, cropping what our eyes see through the chosen framing, stopping time at the precise moment; all in an endeavor, surely futile, to try to order, interpret, and give meaning to that amorphous, boundless, and incomprehensible reality.

Intersect by Winni Wintermeyer: Tire Marks as Accidental Urban Art

I’ve always been drawn to the unintentional marks we leave behind. For years, I found myself captivated by tire tracks left on the asphalt. Walking around the city, I would point my camera down at the street, photographing hundreds of these marks from ground level. To me, the rubber left behind on the pavement always looked like brushstrokes layered onto a canvas.

Pippa Garner Personal Ads

There are still true eccentrics with exceptional ability out in this world, navigating the trenches of culture, unashamed to live life as art, and art as life. These characters are often characterized by a performative lifestyle that echoes the bohemian notions of 20th-century living. I revel when I stumble across their work, find innumerable reasons […]

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

First published in 1975, Paul Virilio’s Bunker Archaeology has become a classic between categories of production. First and foremost, it is an essential book of photographs that typologically investigates the remnants of Second World War bunker armaments mostly along France’s Western coastline. These heavy structures, though short and squat, are impressive concrete-and-rebar boulders that sit […]

I was never accustomed to the tall tales of muchroom pickling that pervade Europe.
