With Soldiery—which culminated in both a nationwide exhibition and a published book—Lewis set out to create a contemporary reflection of historic military portraiture.

I use photography as a way to express my love affair with sadness. When I was young, my parents had a very bitter divorce which had a devastating effect on my soul.

Landscape Inscribed by Peter Bogaczewicz: Reading the Hidden Histories of the Arabian Desert
Mar 9, 2026

I have watched 550 Korean dramas, and I have probably cried at some point during every one. Perhaps even more amazing to me is the fact that I am far from alone. Since South Korea opened itself to the global market in the late 1980s, its popular culture has taken the world by storm.
Since ancient times, human beings have shaped the land, building civilizations and inscribing memory into territory. Yet what appears solid is never stable. Land is constantly weathered, fractured, and reformed. Stability is an illusion sustained by scale. Edge – North Atlantic Ocean begins at the shifting boundary between sea and land. The shoreline is not a fixed line but a site of continual transformation. Stones collide, fragment, and return to the ocean as mineral residue....
In our poppy marketing culture, things are brightly imbued with color — a peppy pink duster, an aqua loofah, and red Swedish Fish. Collaborators Lois Bielefeld and Keturah Michael are interested in how objects transcend their human-attributed use value and assert their own agency, or “thing-power.”

Giacomo Brunelli begins walking before he begins making photographs. “Walking is a part of his photography,” he says. “One needs to walk to create the chance of finding things that are interesting.” Over the past 15 years, he has famously used animals as inspiration in his work, those he encounters in the natural world as well as in the ultimate man-made environment, the city.
