Zero Hour traces Germany’s post-WWII reconstruction through photography, uncovering how a nation emptied of symbols and role models rebuilt itself under the shadow of western influence.

From Andrea Orejarena and Caleb Stein’s () book American Glitch.

This work explores the strange tension between reality and illusion in the U.S. landscape, where simulation theory meets lived experience. Rooted in years of research treating the internet as a collective subconscious, the project pairs found images of “real life glitches” with photographs the artists made at eerily similar sites across the country. The result is a layered portrait of disinformation, digital saturation, and the surreal textures of late capitalism.

From ’s Lakeside.

“Lakeside, Virginia is a psychic landscape, a representation of countless spaces initially built to feign the ‘American Exceptionalism’ writ to redact America’s contentious reality,” Rocheleau says. “Lakeside is also a place with 11,000 people doing the best they can—ugly and beautiful things alike—while drowning in the reality that dreaming gets far less than its promise.”

By blending family photos, press imagery, and constructed still lifes, Piontek’s work lays bare the fragmented narratives that continue to shape the present.

“Zero Hour” by reflects on what we learn to trust and reject, shaped by both personal experience and collective history. The images unmask how the desire to forget coexists with the impossibility of a clean slate. There is no true “Zero Hour,” only versions of history that glitch, repeat, and refract.

’s Open began with photographs taken in Occupied Palestine in 2009. When Israeli security forces exposed his undeveloped film, he thought the images were ruined and left them untouched for over a decade. In 2021, revisiting the negatives, Ashcom discovered that the light exposure had added layers of meaning, reflecting themes of resiliency and vulnerability. The book is designed as a box referencing the original film container, containing a passport-sized book with 34 images. Translucent pages obscure the imagery with fragments of communications between Ashcom and financial institutions, adding depth to the narrative.
