Upcoming work, news, inspiration, randomness — all that we do and all that is us.

  • STILL LIFE

    October 6, 2014

    Part photograph, part moving image, these cinemagraphs created by Julien Douvier are endlessly hypnotic. If it were possible to make a quiet image even more quiet and even more compelling, Douvier does it—tiny little movements, like the twitching of a finger, or the gentle rippling of water, breathe life into these photographs. As still images, […]

    For anyone who loves things arranged neatly, Berlin-based Markus Mai’s work is a dream. Over three years, Mai visited forgotten places and collected over 1,500 objects and items to created this aesthetically pleasing, large-scale print. See more of Mai’s work here.

Drawing on the themes of constant change and the haunting memories of the Cultural Revolution, Wang’s photos are a revisit to the photographer’s memories of his childhood […]

  • OF MEMORIES PAST

    August 21, 2014

    Diane Meyer’s multi-media work, blending old photographs and the forgotten art of cross-stitching, questions the modern-day problems of anonymity and identity in a world where our public and private lives are increasingly scrutinized. The old photos (Of herself? Friends? Family?) seem both familiar and unnervingly detached; eerie, yet oddly comforting. See more of Meyer’s work […]
