PAST PRESENT FUTURE

Wednesday, August 8, 2012

It’s rare that architecture photography manages to make a comment not on architecture, but the passing of time, an international crisis and a current sports event all at the same time – as does Jamie McGregor Smith’s series Borrow, Build Abandon on the desolate state of the sites of the Olympic Games in 2004 in [...]

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO HERB LESTER

Tuesday, August 7, 2012

Like anybody, we love city guides and maps, and even if traveling to a particular place might have to remain a dream for an unspecified period of time, just reading about it will send a little tingle of excitement down our spine. Anyway, city guides are probably the ultimate fun book project, and what a [...]

STUDIO B

Sunday, June 10, 2012

Since the world cup in Germany in 2006, public viewings of the football cups have become a beautiful tradition in Germany, and there’s hardly a café, restaurant or bar that has not large-screen transmission during the euro cup. One of the nicer spaces, however, is the temporary Studio B, off Alexanderplatz, which has just the [...]

POLITICS OF THE POOR

Friday, June 8, 2012

Pixadores are members of the Pixação movement in São Paulo. It’s a huge number of people from the lower class who use street art to express their political wishes through a language of tagging that they developed.
The photograph presents pixação tags, which are spread all over São Paulo, from public squares to rooftops and balconies of the [...]

ENDS OF THE EARTH

Thursday, May 31, 2012

Personally, I really love land art, so I wish I could go and see the apparently epic exhibition Ends of the Earth: Land Art to 1974 at LA’s MOCA museum. In the meantime, since the world of science is slacking a little as far as the advancement of physical bilocality is concerned, thank MOCA for [...]

TOBIAS ZIELONY: MANITOBA

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

Our ongoing obsession with youth has been the focus of many photographers these days, from our recent cover star Ryan McGinley to Dutch artist Rineke Dijkstra (who has a grand retrospective at the Guggenheim New York upcoming this summer).

IRANIAN ROSES

Thursday, January 5, 2012

We mentioned Port magazine before, and with its last three issues, it has matured into one of the best titles on style and life that combines writing of the highest quality with a great and sophisitcated design. So we were all the happier when they got excited about a reportage we did years ago in [...]
