And Then There Was the Night
by Magdalena Wysocka and Claudio Pogo
magdalena

This extraordinary project began when artist duo Wysocka and Pogo stumbled upon a peculiar archive on eBay—a collection of handmade zines containing rephotographed images from a 1920s pornographic film. These enigmatic booklets, it later emerged, were privately made by the so-called “Vampire from Dachauer Moor”, an elusive figure from Münich’s occult scene of the 60’s and 70’s, whose story teeters on the boundary between myth and reality. This cryptic discovery sparked a deeper investigation into the zines’ origin, setting the stage for the photobook’s haunting narrative. By recontextualizing the found zines and integrating them with archival material from different sources, the photobook transcends the realm of a traditional historical record, evolving into an exploration of identity, obscurity, and the power of narrative construction.

Going Westward
by Maria Luisa Zoccoli



Going Westward is a visual research project that explores the concept of death and digital immortality, reflecting on the relationship between the self and its virtual existence. Born from personal introspection and a reflection on the relationship with the end of life, the project investigates the possibilities offered by virtual worlds as spaces of persistence beyond death. The work invites us to question the idea of a digital self that transcends biological time and to collectively reflect on our digital legacy, and on how it may influence the way we conceive existence and the continuity of identity.

Going Westward will be published by .editions
in Spring 2026

The Crimson Thread
by Erin Lee



The Crimson Thread investigates the ubiquitous presence of Australia’s British heritage through the lens of Queen Elizabeth II’s Royal Tour of Australia in 1954. Using speculative documentary photography, the project retraces the Queen’s tour to document what the contemporary settler society in Australia looks like today, and its continuing connection to the British monarchy. By highlighting the ways in which our ongoing celebration of colonial history sustains white privilege, The Crimson Thread invites viewers to question official histories and to consider how strongly our past still exists in the present. The work includes archival material from 1954 newspapers and magazines covering the Royal Tour, alongside twentieth-century propaganda reflecting how Australia became a colonial federation and how the White Australia policies and its imagery promoted this vision and shaped ideas of a white national identity. The title is taken from a quote by Henry Parkes, a British-born colonial politician who described Australia’s connection to the British Motherland as “the crimson thread of kinship, which defines Australia as a bastion of ‘whiteness’ in the Asian region”.

The Elegance of Your Absences
by Gilles Mercier

“I lived for a long time under the unmoving gaze of a few photographs discreetly placed on my father’s desk. In those images, my grandfather Pierre appeared like a secret hero, frozen in an aura of mystery, closer to a myth than a man of flesh. All I knew of him were the fragments of a broken legend: soldier, resistant, deported, then swallowed by N**i fury, dead for France. His silences, like those of my family, had carved out a strange void, an absence accepted without words, but never soothed. To Pierre’s absence was joined that of my father Claude, more insidious, absorbed throughout his life by a quest for resilience, a prisoner of endless mourning. [...]

27 Drafts
by Simone Engelen



“In 2006, during a high school exchange year in the U.S., I was sexually abused by two individuals.
In the years that followed, I tried to block out all memories about this experience, which led me to develop coping mechanisms such as addiction and control issues; and deeply influenced how I interact with others and how I perceive intimacy.
Finally, in 2022, I decided to go back to the U.S. with my mom to find closure. It became a road trip through time, in which I used my camera as a filter to create the distance I needed to engage in conversations long avoided.
27 drafts refers to the number of attempts I have made to put the impact of this assault into words that shaped the most formative years of my life.”

The secret life of external air conditioning units
by Máté Bartha
bartha

“I have a recurring dream. The stars shine above me, as I am quietly sliding through dark alleys, exploring the moonlit courtyards of a city inhabited by none but me. There is no movement or sound, only my quick footsteps as I’m searching for something very important amidst the million buildings and objects once used and loved, now meaningless alien monuments glowing silvery in the night. I stop, as I reach a facade of an industrial building. I have found what I came for. The several dozen air conditioning units operate no more, but their peculiar formation speaks clearly, and straight to the soul. It is a holy sentence, or maybe just a word, but all is finally understood, and everything does make sense for a second. By the time I wake up, the meaning dissolves, but the feeling lingers on for a while, as I can’t stop longing for a life in which I would only need to photograph air conditioning units, and do nothing else.”

Le Royaume
by Marie Quèau



Le Royaume is the portrait of an imaginary community. The blue, grey or black mud anonymises the bodies and faces, presenting themselves as a second skin, ancestral sediments that protect them but also freeze them in a role. This blue mud is a mask for everyone, releasing postures and grins that are as violent as they are tender. The mysterious gestures of these bodies tell the story of a life on the fringes of a Kingdom without images, out of focus, to be invented by each individual. Their consistency is reminiscent of the stunned and enveloped body, and speaks to us of the incessant struggle to inhabit the world.Le Royaume is a series of photographs taken between 2017 and 2020 during two separate events: a sporting event called Le Mud Day in France and the Bloco Da Lama in Paraty (Brazil) during Carnival. Each year in France, thousands of participants come together for a festive course punctuated by challenges in the silt, and re-enact the exit of men from prehistoric caves in Brazil.

Inside the whale
by Marike Hoex



In a child’s magical world nothing yet is determined. Everything is still wide open, carefree, hopeful, in motion, enchanting. Wonder and ignorance meet there where the shadow side of our existence remains latent. This openness makes us receptive, fragile and defenseless. While we may be suspicious of darkness, we cannot grasp it, and that which we suppress finds its place in the shadows.
Marike Hoex observes; she looks, keeps on looking, and lets her inner world determine what she captures. As a child she regularly had nightmares about being inside a whale. What she perceived became a world of imagination. The whale is a mythical creature and knows of depths we are not aware of. She is huge, unfathomable, a monster. Being in inside feels both oppressive and enveloping. ‘Inside the whale’ speaks of fate, ambivalence and the unsaid. The work immerses us in a world we, as adults, cannot imagine. The images are magical and charged as is the world of a child. Embrace, love, tenderness and longing stand beside loneliness, anguish, uncertainty and pain.

HRTLND
by Mads Holm



The day after a massive demonstration in Copenhagen dozens of protesters are awakened early by police officers arresting them in their beds. Investigations have taken place overnight on Facebook comparing personal profiles with police footage of the protest. I am in my studio, also looking at images. As I browse through the many stacks of small prints on my table I try to wrap my head around the paradox: the technology, provided as a service to help you find and attend an event, is the same one that gets you arrested the day after. That really is our predicament today.
HRTLND is an exploration of life in our rapidly changing world, photographed across 20 European and North American countries over the last decade. Through images of urban life, demonstrations, migration and a new military training facility, the project reflects on the paradoxes and tensions shaping modern society, highlighting the double bind between security and control, freedom and surveillance, and the gradual militarization of everyday life.
The project presents a hyperreal landscape where the ordinary is interwoven with the unsettling, challenging the viewer to question what is visible and what remains obscured. In HRTLND Holm captures the undercurrents of global capitalism, militarization, and societal fragmentation, offering a layered narrative that is as much an artistic statement as it is a political act.

Touch the floor and lick your finger
by Eva Vei



“Touch the floor and lick your finger” aims to reveal the anxiety, isolation, and contradictions embedded in the lived experience of fear of contamination (germophobia). Each image in this series examines the tension between the constant desire for cleanliness and the overwhelming sense of unease that accompanies it. By focusing on everyday objects, compulsive washing, selective eating and touch, this project examines the thought processes behind seemingly simple daily actions, which can become ritualistic, obsessive, and exhausting when influenced by an anxious state of mind.

The Cedar Lodge
by Maya Meissner



Growing up in Northern California with horticulturalist parents, Yosemite National Park was my family’s Mecca, and in September of 1998 we took our first pilgrimage there. We stayed at the Cedar Lodge, a roadside motel. I returned to the park years later as a teenager pursuing my love of photography, excited to channel Ansel Adams and the other greats who came before me, in the birthplace of landscape photography. It’s hard for me to comprehend human horrors in Yosemite, one of the most majestic natural places on this planet.

Padre
by Marisol Mendez



Padre is a personal and political excavation of masculinity, approached through a feminist lens. Rooted in my family history and shaped by my Latin American heritage, the project interrogates the deeply embedded structures of machismo that govern not only men’s behaviors but also the emotional landscapes of those around them. Oscillating between social critique and self-inquiry, Padre traces a lineage of absence, tenderness, violence, and care, mapping the way masculine identity is inherited, performed, and, at times, unlearned.
