Talks | 𝐁𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛

🎙 𝐁𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 are the kind of band that could only form in the cracks of a city, through forum ads, collapsing rehearsals, and the beautiful chaos of the London underground.

Now, as they step out of the undercard and onto bigger stages, they’re less interested in perfection and more obsessed with truth, messy, unfiltered, political truth.

This interview finds 𝐁𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 in that exact moment: between cities, between classes, between who they were and who they’re about to become.

Boxing Club are the kind of band that could only form in the cracks of a city, through forum ads, collapsing rehearsals, and the beautiful chaos of the London underground.

Review | 𝐁𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛

✒ In the pulse of London’s underground, where streets hum with restless energy and neon lights drip like wet paint over asphalt, 𝐁𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 carve their mark with a precision that bites.

📰 Some franchises refuse to stay buried. They sink, they twitch, they wait, like something half-remembered and half-rotted at the bottom of a cursed lake, until the industry decides it’s time to resurrect them.

And now, after sixteen years of cinematic quiet, “𝐹𝑟𝑖𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑡ℎ𝑒 13𝑡ℎ” seems to be stirring again.

From the streets and quiet corners of Taiwan, she draws the minutiae of daily life and transforms them into tableaux that are at once intimate and confrontational.

✒ Vaulted ceilings twist like the spine of a fossilized leviathan. Shadows crawl, floors whisper of lost civilizations, and chairs crowned with bones blur the line between comfort and the uncanny.

Inside HR Giger’s bar, the future feels alive, and terrifyingly beautiful.

Stepping into the HR Giger Museum Bar in Gruyères is like being swallowed by a living nightmare that’s also a masterpiece. Perched atop a hill in a medieval castle that has weathered four centuries of Swiss winters and sun, the bar feels less like a venue and more like an incubator for the imagin...

Visual | 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐢

📸 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐢’s craft lies in transmuting solitude into communion, vulnerability into invocation, and the human form into a doorway through which dormant myths rise again.

His photographs awaken a sense of a world once inhabited by beings who moved without hesitation, whose bodies belonged to the land with an inevitability mirroring the way rivers seek depth.

Tesi, known in the digital ether as Tesi Four, born Sergey in the wide-breathed solemnity of Novokuznetsk, belongs to this quiet lineage of seekers. In his vision, the naked figure rises as...

Talks | Le Pustra

🎙 Imagine a smoky cabaret, the glint of sequins under dim lights, and a mysterious figure drifting through the nightlife, equal parts glamour, art, and enigma.

That figure is none other than 𝐋𝐞 𝐏𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚. Not just a performer, but a time-traveler, bringing the spirit of Weimar cabaret to life in a way that’s wild, witty, and unforgettable.

I want you to picture this: the glamour of 1920s Berlin, fancy clothes, a totally different era from which a mysterious figure drifts through the nightlife, embodying art and enigma. I bet you’re curious about who that might be, right? Our guest is not merely a performer, but a time-traveler. That...
