FATHER, COP- Talita Virgínia
For years, I was afraid of my father. When I needed to ask him something, I would use my mother as an intermediary. The curious thing is that my father is a quiet, religious man. He likes animals and nature yet his work is extremely violent. I always associate him with his uniform and with his gun. I was afraid of my father and his uniform. Read more…

THE OTHER MYSTERIOUS ONE / Alessandro di Giampietro
What interests me, fascinates me in a photograph, is the surprise element. I base all my work, also the technique of taking the shot, on spontaneity which, to my way of thinking is the true strong point of the photograph, what really distinguishes this expressive medium from the others. Read more…

INVOCATION SS12 / Kerem Tezgel
My invocation-themed collection ss12 is a philosophy based on religion and god. Religion deforms human like belief does the society. The idea of god emerging out of holy scriptures is childlike, primitive and paradoxical. That is why if the society and the individual are released from it, they will be free. Read more…

Albania’s Journey of Transition / JUTTA BENZENBERG
When Albania’s communist regime disintegrated in 1991-1992 we were told we had embarked on a transition. We all imagined transition as a kind of road, if a long one, starting in one place and ending somewhere else, or as a ship ploughing through the ocean of backwardness towards a haven of prosperity and the rule of law.

AHMED / Guido Gazzilli
I went to Lampedusa when the “emergency” was on every Italian’s mind. It was the front page of every paper, the opener for every news cycle, the topic during talk shows. The main point I was getting was that the Lampedusans were angry, the island devastated by these people who were essentially squatting everywhere, that the locals had taken to not leaving their homes, their lives destroyed. I went there to look for a story about a young refugee man. Read more…

Esther Mathis
Esther Mathis is aware. With the single click of the shutter, time jumps to pre-past, one says; photography and future apparently have nothing in common. Yet, when looking at Esther Mathis’ works, it becomes apparent that she knows better, her affixed traces of light and shadow transporting the medium into a new dimension – into a new future.

MASKE / Phyllis Galembo
As the ancient Messiahs wore human skins to come among mortal people, so for humankind the intercession into the divine develops through the rite of their earthly appearance’s transfiguration, as an allegorical clearing of human beings’ finiteness. Wearing a mask, hiding the face and embodying gods means to capture their strength in order to give it in use of the community. To go beyond the limits of time and space is a metaphysical practice loaded with symbolic values.

The generation of the SEEDS
The seed anticipates uncertain growth. Underground, it lies dormant, remains silent, with an undeniable but invisible force that awaits the right conditions to split its hull, to bear both roots and shoots. The seed represents a plant’s potential, encapsulates its life in its most basic form. Uncontaminated, the seed suggests both the beginning and ending of a process. It produces a plant and comes from one, protected inside the plant’s fruit.
With the seed, we can determine the fruit’s quality.
