The transience of everything is as startling as it is awe-inspiring. Each day is a new day. There’s power in reinvention and its profound ability to transform lives and societies. It embodies the courage to let go of the past and embrace new possibilities, driving innovation. This issue celebrates humanity’s creative impulse and takes the possibilities of what image-making can and should be to new heights with artists including Giuseppe Lo Schiavo, Karine Laval, Marta Djourina, Natalia Klimza and Svante Gullichsen.
Question of Reality | Giuseppe Lo Schiavo makes simulated views driven by the psychology that’s behind how we interpret what is, or isn’t, a real landscape.
Emotive Landscapes | Svante Gullichsen positions himself amidst the vast forces of nature, reflecting on self-care and acceptance through his portraits.
Calling for Action | Artists, scientists and activists champion the iconic Joshua tree in a rallying cry for much wider environmental and cultural awareness.
Into the Sunlight | Maia Flore has cultivated a reputation from constructing dreamworlds where figures fly, balance and bend – bringing magic to life.
Nature Distorted | French-American photographer Karine Laval visits gardens across Europe and the USA to produce hallucinatory views of their plants.
Building Responsibly | Shigeru Ban, a Pritzker Prize-winning architect, speaks about his new book, charting a notable career marked by innovation and compassion.
Portraits Interrupted | Faces are obstructed and obscured by three- dimensional shapes in Natalia Klimza’s body of work, which plays with colours and forms.
Genres Intertwine | A major Tate Modern exhibit recounts how, in 1973, Anthony McCall shook up the art world by stripping cinema back to its fundamentals.
Analogue Experiment | How do natural and artificial lights manipulate photo-sensitive media? Marta Djourina traces movements, gestures and objects onto paper.
Path to Knowledge | Laure Winants, an interdisciplinary artist and researcher, studies Arctic sea ice – presenting thousands of years’ history in a single frame.
