SCOTT OFFEN – GRACE

Posted on 2025-11-10

Scott Offen’s series Grace is a sustained photographic collaboration that interrogates authorship, gender, aging, and representation. Created alongside his partner and co-author, Grace, the work unfolds as a dialogue between subject and artist, where each image is constructed through a process of mutual creation and negotiation. Scenes in the series operate at the intersection of reality, symbolism, and psychology, blending everyday experience with archetypal resonance.

Exhibition runs through to December 2nd, 2025

SASHA BEZZUBOV – ON EVEREST

Posted on 2025-11-03

On Everest is a poignant photographic series by Sasha Bezzubov, created between 2016 and 2024 during multiple treks through Nepal’s Everest region. The project focuses on the unseen labor force behind Himalayan tourism—the porters who carry the immense weight of the trekking industry, both literally and metaphorically. Through portraits and landscapes, Bezzubov honors these men and women who traverse steep, perilous terrain under extraordinary conditions, their resilience etched into every frame.

Far from romanticized depictions of mountaineering heroism, Bezzubov’s work turns its lens toward the realities of those sustaining it. The porters’ loads, often exceeding 130 pounds, consist of everything from beer crates to construction materials. They are paid by weight and must cover their own meals and lodging, sharing beds and skipping food to save money. These photographs reveal a system of endurance and inequity—where physical strength meets social invisibility, and survival depends on shouldering impossible burdens.

STANKO ABADŽIĆ: PORTALS

Posted on 2025-11-03

This evocative body of work invites viewers to contemplate the delicate boundaries between presence and absence, intimacy and distance. Through the motif of the female nude, Abadžić explores how moments of transition—captured at windows, mirrors, and thresholds—can become gateways into the human soul.

The artist’s long collaboration with a single model forms the emotional core of this series. Their partnership, built over many years, has evolved into a dialogue of trust and vulnerability. Each image arises from an exchange of emotion rather than direction, revealing a rare authenticity. The model is not an object before the lens but an equal participant in a poetic conversation about light, form, and emotion.

BREA SOUDERS – BLUE WOMEN

Posted on 2025-10-27

Blue Women (2024-2025) centers on storefront beauty posters, sun-bleached over time to varying shades of blue. The images have been eroded by natural forces – time, light, and weather – and reshaped into something ambiguous. Rephotographed in situ across four continents, the work focuses on the women’s expressions and faded natural motifs around them, tracing the visual and material afterlife of commercial imagery across geographies. The work isn’t nostalgic; rather, it embraces what is uncertain, unresolved, and in motion, qualities echoed in today’s political, environmental, and technological volatility. The color blue connects them, shifting between emotional and symbolic registers: from serenity, melancholy, and resilience, to digital coolness, the cosmic, and the uncanny.

Opposite – Blue Woman #05, 2024
