AUTOMATIC’ SERIES – A collection of deconstructed, gravity-
defying portrait sculptures – built from traditional fine-art
materials and found objects collected from the streets
of London, UK. Each artwork is composed and assembled
directly onto my A3 scanner and captured in a single
exposure in other-worldly macroscopic detail and
incredible resolution. Once captured, the composition
is broken down – and so exists only momentarily IRL
before traversing eternally into the machine ether…
DARIA ENDRESEN

Edition 1 of 1
Anhedonia is my personal reflection on the
psychological state of numbness and inability
to feel pleasure, a symptom commonly known
to accompany depression. Inspired by my own
experience and the eponymous song by Chelsea
Wolfe and Emma Ruth Rundle, it depicts a
complete lockdown of one’s body and mind, the
powerlessness and yet a certain calm acceptance:
floating in the air, unable to move, waiting for
deliverance. The image was taken on Hellisheidi
mountain ridge (Iceland), in February 2021.
Ropework is done by me. Model : Svala Johannsdottir

“Your hand opens and closes, opens
and closes. If it were always a fist or
always stretched open, you would be
paralysed. Your deepest presence is
in every small contracting and
expanding, the two as beautifully
balanced and coordinated as birds’
wings.” – Rumi. Capturing the natural
grace & strenght of The Wrestling
Champion, was a joyful moment. With
kids playing around in the water, the
decor that i set up came to life .
SAMANTHA CAVET
Samantha Cavet is a 24 year old photographer, born in Venezuela, and currently based in Madrid, Spain. Her photography focuses on portraying the human abyss, solitude and melancholic feelings, as well as dreamy pictorial landscapes.

What is reality? If something is real
anyway, do we really see what we
think we see?
MIA NOVAKOVA
Visual artist from Eastern Europe
Edition 1 of 1
The area of transition between the world and
the Pale is called “porch collapse”. The “Porch
Collapse” series is heavily inspired by the concept
of the Pale in the world of Disco Elysium. The Pale
is achromatic, odourless, and featureless, the “enemy
of matter and life”. Therefore, it can only be measured
through the matter that surrounds it. It is not *like*
any other – or *any* thing in the world. It is the
transition state of being into nothingness. It is a
“location without a defined location, into which one’s
memories scramble with others’ and no one’s.” By the
time I became familiar with the Pale I had already
started working on the series, so my plan wasn’t to
make a direct translation of it in photographic form.
Finding out about the Pale only further solidified my
idea. In a way, both the concept of the Pale and my
work are ways to illustrate something that is mostly
in the realm of intuition and outside of language and
description.
ROMAN FOX
Street and travel photographer from London. I run a YouTube channel focusing on the enjoyment of photography as well as sharing my journey.
Edition 1 of 1
This photo was taken in London in
January 2022. This passage is usually
really busy but on one quiet mid week
day, only a handful of people were
there. Myself and a good friend were
waiting for the right moment when I
caught the lady in the red coat. I
scrambled to get my camera ready
and honestly thought I blew it. I didn’t
check the image after I took it and
what a surprise did I get when I
offloaded the memory card later that
day. One of my favourite moments
and also having a friend with me to
see it is a plus.
DADA
DaDa is a multi-disciplinary media artist that works at the intersection of interactive technology, architecture, and performing arts. By creating artworks in various forms, she explores the frameworks that shape our cognition and the experiences that manipulate our perception. Experiential by nature, her works focus on transforming the audience from passive viewers to active participants.
Edition 1 of 1
Though we are all small-scale energies that emit
and receive through our sensory organs, the afferent
and efferent nerve pathways, and the brain, we are
not an array of algorithmic functions and logical
gateways that passively process events. If we project
our existence to a virtual space, it will always be in
a state of forming and reforming as the space is
becoming rather than being. Algorithmically driven,
Becoming Space consists of three digital dynamic
architecture that continuously divide and reconfigure
the virtual space. At first glance, the viewer experiences a
ghost-like presence inhabiting the space as the cube
appears to grow, as if it is empowered by a mythical
force. On closer inspection, the tangible forms reveal
themselves, but not wholly identifiable as it is constantly
shifting. As the first of this series of works, Becoming
Space #1 attempts to depict my own existence with
a spatial form reflecting the states that fluctuates
between ordered and chaotic. It encourages the viewers
to explore their ever-evolving energy that drives to form
their space.
RANSOM & MITCHELL
Stacey Ransom and Jason Mitchell create highly-detailed and visually-lush photographic and digital art scenarios and portraits.
Edition 1 of 1
This was inspired by Jonas Salk’s
quote. “If all the insects were to
disappear from the earth, within 50
years all life on earth would end. If all
human beings disappeared from the
earth, within 50 years all forms of life
would flourish.” Created on a
two-part set with a living dress and
intricately crafted props and
prosthetics. The insects were
captured separately and composited
into the final scene.
KARAN4D
karan4d is a metarealist that focuses on interpreting the noosphere through digital ersatz and artificial intelligence. He has shown work at BTC Miami 2021, Art Basel 2021, Frieze London Art Fair 2021, DCentral Miami 2021, and the Shoyu Metaverse. karan4d’s work deconstructs human generated semiotics, such as text and visual art, and resynthesizes them in the form of audiovisual experiences via his set of neural networks known as FELIX.

Plotinus refused to have his portrait
painted. He viewed the body as a
sardonic, flawed vessel for ψυχή, a
poor container for soul. He had no
interest in capturing a reflection of a
reflection; an image of an image.
MICH VILJOEN
Hello, I’m Mich, a street photographer from Cape Town. My body of work attempts to capture the honesty, vulnerability, and beauty of moments that emerge when individuals enter a state of otherness.
Edition 1 of 1
Breathe – Untethered from the present his mind
could finally be set free to drift off into the fog
with the going of the tide. Captured in NYC. _
Through this body of work, I explore and capture
the moments that emerge when individuals enter
a state of otherness, where and when they find
themselves in a state of being ‘in between’ within their
daily lives. It is within these moments that I find pockets
of honesty, vulnerability, and raw beauty which we
often overlook. Moments that encourage connection
and spark memories, which in turn invite the viewer
to step into a shared state of otherness as well.
DIE WITH THE MOST LIKES
diewiththemostlike is a fuckable energy drink floating in a retention pond outside of a strip mall in your hometown. Create nothing. Consume everything.
Edition 1 of 1
we couldn’t see most things anymore but it didn’t
matter too much our purpose was obligation our eyes,
dimming lanterns broadcasting morse code to
hibernating insects that would never wake and
illuminating flattened dune grass on a worn path
to the bust of an indifferent sea drowning was
preferred to our listless wading but we refused to sink
into the rot below containing things consumed from shore
and the bones of our failed marriage and in that refusal,
existed in a state of perpetual loss smoothed by the teeth of
restless water we suffered then like we suffered now
though the dullness of its delivery often slid into our stomachs
unencumbered without resistance or consideration
buoyancy for our flesh that only sought sand
exploding shapes were better than sunsets anyhow.
