Portrait of Carlijn Jacobs

The whole fashion world is actually a form of escapism: you create a new persona. Changing looks and combining the existing with something non-existent is something that plays a big role in my work.

Portrait of Hira Nabi

A still from Wild Encounters, 2023

Hira Nabi, a prominent figure in the Pakistani photo and video avant-garde, has carved a distinct space for herself within contemporary art. Her work sharply delineates the intricate relationship between humans and the environment. Her project ‘How to Love a Tree: Wild Encounters’ stands as a vibrant testament to this approach, shining a light on fragile ecosystems overshadowed by colonial history.

Ara Güler's photographs, taken during the 1950s, have gained new significance since the 1990s, when Istanbul emerged as a global city. They have become objects of nostalgia and consumption, playing an essential role in shaping the city's collective memory.

Photography, apart from its meanings, is the creator of emotional space in the moment. It is the way of communicating between life and life through which I can reflect her feelings, create new feelings by making inferences.

At the bottom of my heart, I carry protest. For the everyday struggle of Turkish LGBTQIA+ and Turkish women. I protest with my art, anything that compromises our basic human rights.

Bozalp's work is characterised by a playful mix of travel reportage and stylised fashion shoots, in which he quite frequently photographs models he meets on the streets anywhere from the Middle East, Asia and Europe.

Woman, who would be King

Foam Talent 2022: Woman, who should be King by Donja Nasseri

Nasseri's work restores a feminist genealogy of the category of women, heroines that do not fall under a western culture category. Instead, it stands as a critique to western forms of feminism for its efforts to colonise and appropriate non-western cultures to support highly western notions of oppression

(...) Geoushy advocates for women who have been sexually violated either verbally or physically. Simultaneously, the photographer should be viewed as an artist and activist that stands by these women. This not only seamlessly ties in with a tradition of the documentary photographer but is also evocative of the approach of artists like Zanele Muholi or Laia Abril.

Kousmate's approach centralises people—their fears, aspirations, disappointments, and daily lives—in an attempt to present a realistic portrait of contemporary life in Morocco's oases.

Liesching accumulates bits of narrative to show how radically fragmentated these are. Her collages call up history and memory, showing them to be piecemeal, invented even.

Shortly before the [Covid-19] virus hit, the duo had decided to formalise their collaboration—one born out of the many hours they had spent playing together as children, dressing up and taking photographs. Through their parallel careers, they established both the aesthetic and the practical intimacy unique to siblings aligned in a creative endeavour.

Foam Talent 2022: Paintings, Dreams and Love by Yushi Li

I try to use my photographs to question and challenge the dichotomy between the masculine style and the feminine surface in art history, and to explore more complex looking relations outside of the existing binary looking subject versus looked-at object relationship.

By photographing the female body in unexpected ways and playing with the balance of power within a portrait, Simond cleverly disrupts established codes of looking.
