Sudan-born photographer Hashim Nasr () explores resilience, identity, and ageing through dreamlike storytelling. His work blends symbolic natural elements with activist portraiture, addressing the emotional toll of Sudan’s conflict and displacement.

Between 2015 and 2025, Hernández embarked on the Piscinas Olaistas series, a collection of swimming pools that embody the principles of Olaismo. These pools are not merely architectural structures but conceptual spaces designed to evoke the movement and fluidity of water, symbolizing the intimate relationship between the human body and its environment.

Each pool is meticulously crafted to reflect the artist’s enduring interest in water as a transformative element, inviting viewers to engage in a meditative experience that transcends physical form. Through this series, Hernández offers a tangible manifestation of his philosophical exploration, encouraging a deeper connection with the ever-changing currents of life. Hernandez

If you ever find yourself on Naoshima, there’s one thing you absolutely need to see before you leave. In the quiet, concrete halls of the brand-new Naoshima New Museum of Art, 99 wolves are mid-flight leaping in an arc toward a transparent glass wall, only to crash and fall back in an endless cycle. This is Cai Guo-Qiang’s Head On (2006).

Originally commissioned for the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin, the work features 99 life-sized wolves crafted from gauze, resin, and hide leaping. The installation is often read as a metaphor for humanity’s collective drive toward goals, even in the face of inevitable failure.

The Naoshima New Museum of Art, which opened in may 2025, marks Tadao Ando’s tenth project for the Benesse Art Site.

11/08/2025

Photographer Hal’s Flesh Love All series is a bold evolution of his exploration of love, connection, and intimacy, using his signature vacuum-sealing technique on entire families and their surroundings. Each photograph is carefully staged with families choosing meaningful locations tied to their histories.

The vacuum-sealing process, which lasts only 10 to 20 seconds, captures the subjects in a state of temporary unity, highlighting the ephemeral nature of these intimate connections. The series presents love as a universal force that binds individuals, families, and communities, with vacuum-packing serving as a metaphor for preserving these relationships in time.

Flesh Love All has earned critical acclaim, including the 2020 PX3 Silver Award and recognition as a Top 10 Critic’s Choice by LensCulture in 2021.

Yulia Mahr’s () The Church of Our Becoming, on view in the courtyard at Dover Street Market Paris () through August 24, 2025, presents 13 large-scale thermal portraits some reaching 3.5 meters, captured with a military-grade thermal camera.

The works recall the poise and scale of classical Greek sculpture, yet replace idealised form with the shifting radiance of living bodies. Installed along the courtyard’s pillars, the sequence creates a contemplative pathway that draws viewers into a quiet, immersive encounter.

While the installation appears alongside the launch of Comme des Garçons Parfums’ () Max Richter 01, for which Mahr also created the packaging, it stands as an independent meditation on form, presence, and Yulia MahrtMax Richtery: .peeMaurits Peetersr

What if the future of African art didn’t just hang on walls but shaped the walls themselves?“

That’s the question Olufemi Adeleke (.fa) answered when he founded .ng, turning buildings across Nigeria into living, breathing works of art that tell stories of heritage, innovation, and tomorrow.

But this isn’t just about aesthetics. In our exclusive feature, Femi reveals how his culture-driven studio has generated over ₦500M in revenue in just 12 months, without any VC funding, while creating steady employment for some of Nigeria’s most talented painters.

The secret? What he calls ”CultureTech“—merging deep cultural knowledge with emerging technologies to create something entirely new.
