The Coexistence of the Destroyed and the Impeccable — Meike Legler in Conversation
She buried a bed sheet in Los Angeles soil for eight months. She bleaches fabric until it finds its own pattern. She works in a former clothing factory in small-town Germany — and makes work about decay, the universe, and everything in between. Meike Legler in conversation
PHOTOGRAPHER TOMMY KHA
Tommy Kha is a left-handed, Queer, Asian American photographer from Memphis who is not supposed to exist. Interview on Half, Full, Quarter, Nan Goldin, his mother's immigration photographs, and photographs as currency.
PHOTOGRAPHER MONDHER MEJRI
He found refuge in art. Now photographer Mondher Mejri — Tunis to Lyon, shaped by a feminist mother and a painter uncle — invites you to go beyond appearances. A conversation about music as an image stimulator, 360° artists, and why anyone who puts themselves forward is already making a difference.
“Visibility has never been our measure of significance. We seek out artists and inspiring individuals whose work sparks curiosity, challenges assumptions, and leaves a lasting impression.”
Every project, image, and story is about framing a series of questions that are deeply important to me as a human being.- Shirin Neshat
