Dave McLaughlin - Walking Meditation
Approximately once a week I get one I like, the rest of the time it’s just a walking meditation.
It’s equal parts art and survival.
Alex Schupak - The New Americans
I am a conceptual landscape photographer who is primarily interested in subverting the historical imposition of truth onto the land through the camera. By its nature as first a science and then a means of documentation, photography was used to survey, label, and divide American land and the people that inhabited it; the photo was used as a potently unobjective truth-telling vehicle. In my art, I explore this strange limbo of photography, through a number of techniques that blur the line of its implied visual truth. My earlier work used abstraction to emphasize formal elements—light, color, and shape—over recognizability, imparting a sense of placelessness. Soon, I started using other techniques, incorporating embedded language, image compression, and visual irony to warp the assumed linear translation of the real world to the captured image. The titling of images became an important aspect of my work as well, where I used it to challenge conventional ways of gridding and labeling land. My goal through all these techniques is to interrupt what we believe we are seeing with something different, or even contrary, to initial impressions. I’ve learned that dialogue between images has more power to subvert their collective meaning than any photograph alone. Like a visual wormhole, I use image association and sequencing to compare and contrast vastly different images (separated by time, distance, and visual style), bringing attention to how truth morphs through context. This tension creates space to reexamine the tradition of American landscape photography—culminating in my photobook The New Americans.
Uetsugu Kotomi - Pull of X
By photographing what we see, we become aware of how unaware we are of ourselves and our surrounding environment. This work explores how the world is made not only of orderly things, but also of everything else around them.

Rasim Aslan - Urban Malfunctions
Cities are like living organisms constantly evolving, endlessly reshaping themselves. For an outsider, every city is exotic; every corner holds the promise of an undiscovered narrative.

I often dream about returning to the house where my grandparents lived. I hear the rhythmic sound of the clock, feel the coolness, and finally breathe out. I’m back home.

This photographic series, Silent Beauty, is an intimate journey through unnoticed corners and silent architectures. It is the story of a curtain dancing in the breeze, of shutters that hide stories, and of walls that tell the passage of time through their textures.

Vincent Jondeau - Verschwinden
The disappearance of living species is accelerating at the rate of the various industrial revolutions. There is an urgent need to slow down, if only to grasp the current catastrophe. Two centuries ago, the aim was to discover new species. In present time, we record the ongoing and future extinctions. Whether threatened or witnessed, how are the remaining beings affected by this profound mutation? And what imaginaries could we build in response to the fragility of ecosystems in the Anthropocene? Vincent Jondeau's project poetically explores this reflection by confronting his own vision of the plant world with the botanical drawings made by his ancestor at the end of the 19th century. Through portrayals of plants encountered in his daily life on the outskirts of northern Berlin and in his family archives, he probes an era where the question of survival has overtaken that of progress.
Vincent Karcher - Fire Born
This work explores the ephemeral traces left by fires. What was once intense, raging, and devastating becomes silence, ashes, and soon germination. Fire, though destructive, is also transient. This project attempts to capture this fragile temporality, where disappearance precedes rebirth.
In these scorched landscapes, the ephemeral is reborn: a bud, a mushroom, a breath, a colour. Nothing lasts, not even destruction.
Fire Born reveals the fragile cycle between destruction and renewal.
Tommy Lei - Snow Cows

Read MoreRoberto Braga - Connecting Rooms
When every place seems already seen, framed by media, consumed by algorithms, and flattened by mass tourism. This photographic project looks elsewhere for the essence of travel. Not in iconic destinations or postcard views, but in hotel corridors, rented rooms, unfamiliar laundromats, or windows opening onto undesired landscapes.
Read MoreMaryna Shtanko - Looking For Balance
“As I spun, my movement became unsteady, shifting from side to side, reflecting the difficulty of maintaining equilibrium in a fast-moving, chaotic world. These images capture the internal struggle to remain centered amidst an overwhelming flow of information, constant bad news, and the rapid pace of modern life…”
Read MoreKevin Klipfel - Sha La La, Man
“That these photographs are personal, even intimate, can’t be denied. But they generalize: if you’re of a certain age or from a certain part of the country, many of them look like they’re pulled from your own life. I can see myself sitting at the table in the collection’s opening image excited by the $5 my great-grandfather always snuck into my hand when he shook it.”

Arctic seasonal transitions are notably intense, defined, and compared to many lower-latitude regions, time feels compressed. This is especially true during spring, summer, and autumn, when the perception of a season’s duration is shorter.
