A still from Wild Encounters, 2023

"At a certain point I lost track of you. 
They make a desolation and call it peace. 
when you left even the stones were buried: 
the defenceless would have no weapons." 

"When the ibex rubs itself against the rocks, 
who collects its fallen fleece from the slopes? 
O Weaver whose seems perfectly vanished, 
who weighs the hairs on the jeweller’s balance?"

"If only somehow you could have been mine, 
what would not have been possible in the world?" 

‘In the lake the arms of temples and mosques are locked in each other’s reflections.  
Have you soaked saffron to pour on them when they are found like this  
centuries later in this country  
I have stitched to your shadow?’

Foam Magazine #67 The Test of Time

From the series Broer (2017 – present)

Installation view of 'Broer' by Florian Braakman in Foam Talent 2024-2025

The sociopolitical impact of Braakman's work lies in its ability to tell a more nuanced story of migration, a story that looks beyond the often one-dimensional media narratives.

Aspromonte – Guilty Grounds, 2023

[Through her work], Reimers delivers a universal message: amidst darkness, there remains a persistent glimmer of hope, spirituality, and the enduring spirit of humanity.

Portrait of Hira Nabi

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.
