I’m interested in the body as both a medium and a material. In my artistic practice, I explore how it is possible to create, overlay, and reveal new layers of meaning through photography. I print body parts, alter their scale and shape, and then put them back together again, creating an interplay between what can be seen, what is implied, and what remains hidden. Illusion, ambiguity, and obfuscation are for me a way to draw attention to how gaze is constructed and the decisions made behind it. In this process, socially sensitive nudity is transformed into an ornament or mask. I seek out the boundaries between the ordinary construction of an image and the moment when we feel we see something “correctly”. In my photographs, the body does not feature as an object, but as a variable space for meanings that cannot always be clearly grasped.

#49 Talk Together

This issue explores language – its forms, possibilities, and limits. We look at how we communicate in the digital space, how the language of artificial intelligence changes our notions of creativity, and how visual images can replace words. You will discover why language is never neutral and how it shapes identity, creates inequalities, and opens paths to liberation. The issue features a reflection by bell hooks, the artistic practice of Eszter Magyar, projects documenting the Roma community in Brno, and visual essays by Claudia Larcher and Tabor Robak. The magazine presents language as a tool of communication, power, and resistance and invites you to reflect on what it truly means to talk to one another today.
