The shroud that insulates celebrity has been thinning lately, but that isn’t any of Anton Corbijn’s concern. For the past 50 years, the Dutch photographer and filmmaker has been capturing some of the most admired and contentious faces in music without compromising their mystique. “I thought there was some magic world somewhere there. I discovered there isn’t,” he told me in a neutral tone when I tried to inquire on the background of his visions of 1980s Malibu or 1990s Orlando. Confident in the inherent allure of his work, Corbijn has long refrained from sharing stories surrounding his most iconic images. His black and white portraits of a frowning Nick Cave, a sullen PJ Harvey, or an ethereal Sinéad O’Connor thus all share a similar effect: beckoning toward an unreality where the halcyon times they depict are still alive. That world is also at the center of “corbijn, anton,” the artist’s retrospective currently on view at Fotografiska Berlin.

Zuzanna Czebatul was born in Poland and grew up in Frankfurt, where she studied art at the city’s famed Staedelschule, immersed herself in the techno scene, and began to think about how dynamics of power and cultural production play out in public space. Now based in Berlin, Czebatul has built a practice that engages the monumental landscape at its most complex and most fun. Her roguish public works affectionately tease the very institutions who commission them. Her serialized sculptures question the narratives that sculpt our ideas of self- and nationhood, revealing the mechanical repetition required to maintain these identities. It turns out that, in the realm of public art, site-specificity requires a degree of universality — a kind of modular logic that allows established, repeated forms to adapt to their contexts and become singular. , on view at 032c’s Berlin store through August 31, inaugurates a new, long-term collaboration between 032c and USM.

Have you noticed how we’ve been sifting through the same references to the point that their meaning has been pulverized? Namasenda has, and she thinks it’s passé. However, even when uttering her adamant opinions on our culture’s habitual nostalgia-tripping, the Swedish singer doesn’t do so with the holier-than-thou cynicism that normally precedes such a remark. Instead, she simply refuses to dwell on the past, and , her newly released album, attests to this ideology. The term “limbo,” both in its Christian denotation as the interstitial space between heaven and hell or its colloquial use, refers to a place of deep stagnation. Both interpretations fed Namasenda’s most intimate album to date, where, after a period of languishing, she heaved herself out from this ruminative purgatory by hitting the studio and allowing herself to be vulnerable in her return to her day-one commitment: the “perishable good” that is pop.

After hyperpop’s post-100 gecs haze began to settle, and PC Music’s transgressive sound was definitively appropriated into mainstream pop, underscores emerged amid a wave of new artists still treating DIY electronic music as a kind of eternal blood pact. However, like her peers, she faced a problem familiar to the times: how to continue using a rapidly diffusing genre as a sincere vehicle for expression. To avoid this flattening, underscores leaned into excess. On her first album (2021), she used punk-rock guitar riffs and fragments gleaned from other genres as a way to reassert her chaotic, self-proclaimed celebrity status within a crowded and sometimes monotonous scene. The fictional Michigan town at the center of her second album, , fictional mailing address, student newspaper, and “Moms of Wallsocket” discussion forum.

On Canal Street, in the shadow of blue-chip galleries and luxury retail stores, a polyphony of haggling can be heard coming from makeshift markets selling counterfeit luxury handbags from carts. At once a confluence of marginalized workers and immigrants, and luxury dealers and real-estate speculators, the historic Manhattan street has become a source of inspiration for a new generation of artists. Since 2020, the research duo Ming Lin and Alex Tatarsky’s project Canal Street Research Association (CSRA) has been among the closest observers and chroniclers of the high street’s crowded historical tensions. CSRA began as a temporary “fictional office entity” for “Shanzhai Lyric,” Lin and Tatarsky’s archive of bootleg fashion “poetry-garments.” When the COVID-19 pandemic ended their plans to follow a garment’s production around the world, the duo instead founded CSRA in a disused storefront on Canal Street, aiming to “gather ephemeral histories and map the major thoroughfare’s lore, past a]]> Art Fri, 01 May 2026 12:13:41 GMT https://magazine.032c.com/magazine/canal-street-research-association-is-an-ongoing-contradiction https://magazine.032c.com/magazine/the-agony-of-defeat-giulio-bertelli-on-sports-and-war
Struggle, conflict, competition. The Greek word “agon” could mean any of these in the worlds of war and sports, and filmmaker Giulio Bertelli has explored their intertwining in his debut feature film. First premiered at the Venice Film Festival and now available on Mubi, Bertelli’s depicts three female athletes who are unable to compete in the Olympics due to a conflict with their bodies, fate, or grave mistakes—and thus each has to face the agony of failure. The son of Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli, Giulio Bertelli has taken a circuitous path to filmmaking. While developing stories in his head, he first pursued architecture in London and then worked as an offshore sailor. Competing as an athlete in the America’s Cup, he gained insights into cutting-edge technologies while also occasionally salvaging ships in the Caribbean.

Here, the camera captures a reality already refracted through the prism of digital unreality. Just as audiences began to dream in the language of film upon the invention of cinema, the shoot is suffused by the same atmosphere of hyper-stylized images, soft “bisexual” lighting, and a pastel palette that dominated the Tumblr-loaded screens of Zoomers during their teenage years and which continues to serve as the foundation of the show’s visual world—even as its characters progress into young adulthood.

During a roundtable with Isabelle Huppert at the Berlinale earlier this year, I sat by a film journalist who asked the actor, “Is there anything that can throw you off balance in life?” To which she replied, with not irony but a knowing smile, “Do you really expect me to tell you?” This playful reticence is also a hallmark of her acting. Having appeared in over 20 films that have premiered at Cannes and been nominated the most of any actress for France’s national theatre award), Huppert is often lauded for her performances in psychologically vexed roles. Yet, beneath the austerity or repression for which her characters are known, there is also something excessively emotional and unpredictable at play.

Those who have the most lasting impact on culture rarely foresee themselves doing so. Such was the case when Jonathan Saunders first created the iconic bird-of-paradise print for Alexander McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2003 collection. Designed fresh off the heels of Central Saint Martins, where the young designer’s master’s collection immediately drew international recognition and the attention of McQueen himself, who sent the graduate a job offer in just 48 hours, Saunders’s first stamp at the label became not only the most photographed look of the collection, but a defining motif in the house’s canon. Despite this early moment of recognition in his career, Saunders continued to suspect that he was somewhere he wasn't supposed to be. Luxury fashion continued to think otherwise. After his tenure at McQueen, he began consulting for brands including Chloé, Louis Vuitton, and Pucci, all while running his own namesake label, where he became known for blending bold and often unexpected prints w]]> Fashion Tue, 07 Apr 2026 09:51:46 GMT https://magazine.032c.com/magazine/jonathan-saunders-aspiration-is-great-snobbishness-isn-t https://magazine.032c.com/magazine/chxrry-s-hall-of-fame
Before the icon was a category of celebrity, it was a technology of survival: an image created to outlast the life of its subject. Cleopatra’s tomb may have never been found, but what does remain of her time on Earth is the media stamped with her likeness more than two millennia ago. Thus, the moment her name appears, so does she: dark hair, kohl-lined eyes, sun-kissed, golden skin. Whether it’s Elizabeth Taylor’s performance as the Egyptian ruler in the 1963 Hollywood film or Frank Ocean name-dropping her in his monumental 2012 single “Pyramids,” it’s clear that the magic of Cleopatra’s image, like all icons, resides in its reproducibility. understands this better than most.

In 2012, far-right conspiracist Alex Jones posted “Devil Pyramid Rotting in Memphis” to his YouTube channel. Much of Jones’s tirade against the occult symbolism of the Memphis Pyramid, which was opened on the east bank of the Mississippi River in 1991, in the video is mere drivel. However, one fact remains true: Soon after the pyramid opened, a maintenance worker found a crystal skull in its glass-encased apex, or “Illuminati capstone,” as Jones prefers to call it. And, in an even stranger turn, it was revealed that the skull had been placed there by Hard Rock Café co-founder Isaac Tigrett, the son of the entrepreneur largely responsible for bringing the towering 32-story edifice to the Egyptian-named city in Tennessee in the first place.

Here, routine produces a coherent sense of self, enveloping feminity within the safety of repeated gestures and regimented performance. For a moment, the subject experiences becoming through feeling, rather than through how she is seen. Within the confines of the stable, something shifts, too. The rituals that once cemented her in the world outside begin breaking down. Heels sink into mud and tulle grazes straw as her body lowers to the earth she previously tried to float above.

I don’t really like change of scenery.” When I join the Zoom call with Clara La San and her close friend and longtime collaborator Jack Latham, the British producer whose sleek, nocturnal electro-pop sound contoured the early records of Kelela and Troye Sivan and pulses through his own project, , the camera is off. The lack of visual anchor is fitting considering their shared preference for a kind of soft anonymity. Yet over the course of the hour, their ease with one another is also unmistakable, serving as the shorthand for the type of creative partnership ]]> Music Wed, 18 Feb 2026 09:29:38 GMT https://magazine.032c.com/magazine/clara-la-san-and-jam-city https://magazine.032c.com/magazine/apres-ski-with-lucas-braathen
Congrats, Lucas! On the occasion of Lucas Braathen’s historic gold medal-earning performance in giant slalom at the Winter Olympics on Saturday, we’re republishing Shane Anderson’s 2023 interview with the Norwegian-Brazilian skier. When I spoke about the skiing in my hometown with Lucas Braathen, the Norwegian alpine ski racer who won the 2023 World Cup in slalom, he got very excited about Palisades Tahoe, a location I had surprisingly never heard of. “That’s because they changed the name,” he said, “the previous one was offensive.” As we spoke, it became clear to me that his excitement was not focused on the slope that had once hosted the Winter Olympics, rather it was because it was a station on his journey to skiing domination. With five wins to his name, 12 podium appearances, and the World Cup trophy all taking place in but a few years, Braathen was at the top of his game when he shocked the world on October 27, 2023 and left the sport for good at the age of 23. This surprised me]]> Fashion Mon, 16 Feb 2026 10:19:06 GMT https://magazine.032c.com/magazine/apres-ski-with-lucas-braathen
