Maggie I: Lantern

A hooded figure in black gauze moves beneath a cage of lit candles, half monk, half lantern. We keep it quiet, warm and slow, against a wrinkled canvas backdrop.

Resentimiento

Resentment, made physical: a red-haired figure in black leather wrestles a glowing, splintering double across a white studio floor. We watch the fight with ourselves play out frame by frame.

Cordyceps

A body taken over: skin stretches, mirrors and sprouts into pale tendrils, like the fungus the series is named after. We find it unsettling and strangely beautiful.

The Poem About Color and the Girl

A girl wanders through fields and forests where color behaves like weather: pink sleeves on green, an orange suitcase turned chessboard, light falling in beams. We read it as a poem.

Calendar

The seasons arrive as envoys from a known-unknown alien world, each in its own months and its own costume. We follow the year from frost to fire, then move in close on the makeup.

Glacial

Paintings by Bela Bertram: black textures, torn shapes and white strokes that read like ice, horizons and surf.

Bela Bertram

Artwork by Bela Bertram: surveillance, inverted monuments and a body dissolving into shadow, in stark black and white.
