Séan Branagan

Sean Branagan’s work has a hint of the impossible, but nearly graspable about it. He doesn’t describe the world we know. He presents us the world in layers of reality that we would otherwise so easily miss. His work is an amazing visual study using the combination of images, projections and light to open narrow gaps to his alternative reality.

HEROES and WASTE by Nicolas Santos

There is not much info about Nicolas Santos on the internet except the information that says, he is based in Madrid and this photo by Luca Guarini. That’s why I sent him an interview request. And while we wait – here come his HEROES and DESECHOS (waste, rubbish in Spanish) collages. [images by Nicolas Santos and Luca Guarini]

SLAVIC UNION

First, let me make something clear from the beginning – this is not a political post – politics is not my cup of hobby; and God knows (haha!) that I’m not a nazi or any other radical supporter. Just for the record. Anyhow, there is something arousing about extremists. Something that makes your adrenalin rise, makes your blood flow run

Olivier Valsecchi

Paris-based photographer Olivier Valsecchi is covered in a dust made of many maybe-s. He rarely gives interviews and there is little information about him on his website or online at all. The little that I could find  is somehow unsatisfying and always request a “perhaps” before saying it. According to his minimalistic Facebook page he is married to Florent Vacaris.

LUKAS BEYELER

When I woke up this morning, I did my digital native ritual as follows: while still rolling in bed I checked (in order of appearance) my email, twitter, facebook, blog reader. The first 3 didn’t really amaze me with something extraordinary. While checking the blogs I am following I stumbled upon this post by Brian Kenny. It was a mix

DUST Magazine

In the industrial cities, tiny little particles in suspension flutter, coming from industries, cars and sometimes even from hydroelectric power stations: it’s the DUST. Hidden, silent, omnipresent in our lives, it lands everywhere: the house, the roof, among the hair, the fingers…. DUST is a publication that will be launched on September/October 2010 and that is brought to us with

Briefs and tube socks

American Apparel is so 2000 and late. Dov Charney (CEO, AA) reinvented the shorts, briefs, tube-socks, V-necks, tight long-sleeves – these used to be the basics of every queer wardrobe. It was even more exciting for us children of former USSR where communism brought some real vintage sexyback (from today’s perspective) but where no one realized it back then. Well,

He grew up in Iglesias, a small town in Sardinia, used to live in Northern Spain and is based now in Cagliari, Sardinia. He is single and wants to go on like this for a while connecting with new people as

Client #1

If someone told you there is a summer hole where nothing really happens and no news get published, tell them to shove their boredom and lack of motivation you-know-where. There is some fresh breeze on the queer press front and for once this freshness is not just a cheesy metaphor. Client is a truly unconventional (we’ll se about that!) magazine
