Dana Lixenberg’s ‘Polaroid 54/59/79’ is remarkable collection reflecting the American celebrity culture she encountered in the 1990s and 2000s.

With ‘Vital Mud’, Dutch artist Hiske Altena explores the theory that life on Earth once began in clay. In the 1980s, her uncle, now a retired geologist, found an unusual stone that rattled. Within this stone, he discovered organic-looking structures which he could not easily explain using existing geological theories. The so-called “clay hypothesis”, however, seemed to offer a better explanation. This is the basis on which Altena builds a collection of images intended to shift our per...

Bałuty is een district in de Poolse stad Łódź. Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog bestond hier een van de grootste en gruwelijkste Joodse getto’s. Wat de nazi’s niet hebben vernietigd, is weer een woonwijk geworden.

FAS is when you've forgotten how to ride a bike once the school holidays are over. FAS is when you can't learn to tell the time. FAS is not understanding the difference between good and bad. FAS is when your spontaneity knows no bounds. FAS is not knowing how to play with others. FAS is doing anything to get attention. FAS is the storm in your head.

First and foremost, ‘Within the Bubble of Surroundings’ is an ode to friendship.
