Sometimes, we need local elections so you can pull out the list of candidates from your mailbox and Nick Cave keeps repeating “who cares what the future brings?” and you realise that it’s really about that, since “everything is connected with everything else?” And for a moment, you too feel the fear of a “possible” future, towards which we run, urged by consumerism, market economics, and a desire for personal joy…

Varvara Gorbunova

The history of my family has had a profound effect on my photographic practice. Revisiting my artistic choices and themes always brings me back to my roots, to my matriarchal family. Ever since my parents divorced, my coming-of-age world had been populated solely by women…

Viktor Šelesták

Viktor Šelesták represents a new type of photography that emerged only in this century. It is a peculiar type of photographical documentary, whose focus are not humans, but rather the footsteps they leave behind, the products of civilization…

Beloved Baking deliberates about our relationship with bread. It remains an integral part of our diet but no longer holds the same tangible and symbolic value it had in the past as modern Western diets have become more diverse…

Sofia Okkonen

In Honey, Please (started in 2020), I have been reflecting on the chronic anxiety and recovery from the apocalyptic pathos caused by news coverage of, for example, the insect decline…

Iryna Drahun

Isolation during the c ovid-19 pandemic gave us more time to spend both on ourselves and on things that we never had enough time for during normal goings-on. Some of my friends took up entirely new pastimes…

Yulia Krivich

Presentiment is less a record than an apprehension of the events currently taking place in my country. These impressions come together to make sequences of pictures and signs that I have recreated through photography…

The Sun. The fundamental source of energy. It burns. It explodes. It radiates. It exhausts itself…
