Perediza: the magazine that questions

25/10/2025

Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is not a film about horror but about the divine act of creation and the fragility of being human. It resurrects Mary Shelley’s philosophy through a modern cinematic theology that reflects on empathy, intellect, and the limits of reason. Through del Toro’s gaze, Shelley’s questions become sacred once more: what gives us the right to create, and what separates the maker from the made? Victor’s ambition mirrors the fall of man, his pursuit of knowledge born from pain and pride, while the Creature, formed through violence yet capable of tenderness, becomes both a reflection and a reproach. Every frame feels painted in light and grief, resisting gothic exaggeration for something gentler and more human. This is not horror but scripture in motion, a meditation on intellect, emotion, and creation itself. In del Toro’s hands, Frankenstein becomes Mary Shelley’s soul reborn, a prayer for empathy in a world still struggling to understand the things it makes. link in bio for the full review.

Art desks at Frieze 2025

During our time at Frieze London and Frieze Masters, we found ourselves in awe of the countless pieces of iconic furniture being used by the Gallery Teams. From classic design to contemporary masterpieces, the art desks at Frieze mirrored the art displayed in the space, elevating the mise-en-scène and rounding up the whole picture of the gallery. And so we question what the relationship is between fine art and furniture? Here are some of our favourite pieces present at the fair.

In perediza issue iv we talked to PANGAIA about changing the systems of clothing production and how to find orientation within them. Chelsea Franklin , Head of Advanced Concepts at PANGAIA enters the conversation with a material-first lens—starting with the fiber, redesigning the system around it, and treating uncertainty as part of real innovation. We used their (gaia)PLNT Nylon collection as an entry point to explore how biosynthetics can scale within existing supply chains, how design translates lab ideas into product, and what a truly bio-based, custodial future of fashion could look like.

Giuditta Vettese () approaches art as an inquiry where matter, sensation, and psychic energy converge.

At Fanshaw Projects (), in a domestic loft transformed into a temporary living laboratory, her solo exhibition I Would Like to Meet the Eye of the Sun and the Moon pulses with erotic energy, pulling us toward death, desire, and transformation. Clay breathes like vulnerable skin. Snakes twist between tenderness and threat. The monstrous feminine becomes the site of erotic resistance.

Across myth and history, the serpent has been both curse and cure, the tempter of Genesis and the healer of Asclepius. In Vettese’s hands, it sheds its ornamental taming and becomes alive with risk. Erotic energy turns resistant, dangerous, necessary, a bodyguard of transformation.

In her essay, Gigi Surel () unravels these tensions, tracing how Vettese redefines desire as knowledge and the feminine as a site of creation.

Now showing at Fanshaw Projects until 19 October 2025.

to curate (to care) — notes from Duets

Duets considers relation as a language of its own. What happens when two practices meet not to merge, but to listen? When art becomes an act of care rather than assertion?

At Teaspoon Projects, conversation replaced spectacle. The space itself seemed to breathe, carrying traces of memory, opacity, and time.

We followed those gestures, the silences between them, and how presence can be made material.
