★ Friday Feature - Youth Issue Artist Showcase

We are gearing up to official release of our Youth issue soon and we’re highlighting some of the most interesting submissions.

Simulated Earth is about the hydraulic model that my father works on. The idea of Simulated Earth comes from René Descartes’s simulated earth theory. The theory is the proposal that all of reality, including the Earth and the rest of the universe, could be an artificial simulation. Usually, when talking about Simulated Earth, we will think of some electronic high-tech things, such as computer simulation or metaverse. But here is the hydraulic model built with concrete and bricks. The hydraulic model is a scaled-down model used to simulate ocean currents, docks, etc. in marine engineering. It is a research approach to solving engineering problems through simulation based on a similar theory.
Meanwhile, I grew up there with cement and tiny fake grass because my father is a hydraulic engineer. I watched my father walking through that shadow and sunlight, looking at the world he made. Humans become the god at a specific moment and space to recreate the nature that can be controlled by them. It was the first time I really understood his profession, his life outside of fatherhood.
Every shooting, I visit the different model halls with my father. He explains to me the purpose of each model and the principles for the experiment. I don’t know much about hydraulic engineering, but I understand what I am looking at and my father. This scientific experiment is a simulation of the earth we live in, just as photography is a replica of reality.

Temple Road - On the outskirts of Frankfurt, nestled within an industrial area, lies an enclave that undergoes a quiet transformation every Sunday. During the week, the district hums with the activity of a bustling workforce, but on weekends, a different energy emerges.
Within the industrial warehouses, diverse faith communities gather, finding spiritual solace in this unlikely setting. Behind closed doors, unnoticed by much of the city, the plain halls of Temple Road come alive with prayers, weddings, and community activities. Side by side, various independent churches and cultural associations coexist, surrounded by repair shops, office buildings, and one of Germany’s largest meat production factories.
While institutionalized churches are prominent fixtures in the urban landscape, these small communities remain hidden, fostering connection and tradition quietly, among themselves.

★ Friday Feature - Youth Issue Artist Showcase

We are gearing up to the official release of our Youth issue and we’re highlighting some of the most interesting projects received for this issue.

“The Darker the Night, the Brighter the Stars” is an ode to the youth growing in difficult contexts deprived of opportunities and positive role models.
This long-term documentary project explores youth culture in the Torretta district of Napoli through the traditional bonfire celebration known as Cippo di Sant’Antonio.
Stemming from a pagan tradition where peasants constructed fires with domestic waste to celebrate the end of winter and seek protection for the new year ahead the tradition has taken a unique turn in the city of Napoli. The current iteration of the ritual has evolved in a playful game seeing groups of children aged 6 to 16 take the streets in balaclavas, stealing Christmas trees, engaging in battles with gangs from rival districts and hiding and guarding the loot in secret areas within their territories until the day of the fire.
The game, drenched in violence and mischief in which tropes of friendship, trust, hierarchy, territory, masculinity, law and outlaw, also naively conceals the systemic criminality and territorial attitudes typical of southern Italy.
The fire is seen as a door through which various different dimensions are connected. Past and present as such, a before and after line that the kids look forward to be soon crossing. Youth and manhood, destruction and creation ultimately, life and death. The savagery dominating the creation and lighting up of the fire is followed by a quiet tenderness, the thrilling spirits of the adulthood caged in these young bodies are finally freed up and exhausted in the moment the fire finally burning.

★ Friday Feature - Youth Issue Artist Showcase

We are gearing up to the launch of our Youth issue soon and we’re highlighting some of the most interesting submissions. Come and see us at the Youth Exhibition opening on December 14. at Gallery 881 in Vancouver.

Between 2011 and 2013, I documented a group of fashion models from former Soviet countries working in Hong Kong. As a photographer, my work has always focused on exploring the intersection of culture and identity. My project, “HK Top Models,” delves into these themes through the experiences of young people from former Soviet countries who come to Hong Kong to pursue modeling. Born between 1988 and 1993, these individuals represent the post-perestroika generation, navigating the complexities of their inherited histories and the allure of capitalist megapolis lifestyles.

I chose to shoot this project on film to capture their genuine experiences and the stark realities of their pursuit of a better life abroad, avoiding posed shots or requests to delete images. Growing up in the shadow of Perestroika, they were caught between two worlds. Elders spoke of the fleeting glory and communist values of a bygone superpower, while Western media introduced them to a glamorous, rebellious lifestyle. This conflict fostered a deep desire among the youth to escape their homelands for a ‘better’ life. With its demand for white models and promises of luxury, Hong Kong became an ideal destination.

I began documenting the lives of these amateur models, capturing moments from fashionable nights out to their more somber, private moments. Many were not professional models but were at a stage where they knew they were pretty enough to model, hoping this could be their ticket out of their country. Their hope for a better life was palpable. However, most had to leave after their contracts ended, a stark reminder of the challenges faced by the youth in their quest for a brighter future.
