At Art Basel Miami, the American artist's installation turns the 1997 Mercedes C280 into a drifting witness to the fragmentary pulse of the road. In collaboration with The Patina Collective, the work unfolds as a meditation on the human-machine relationship, where moments dissolve into rhythm, emotion flickers through metal, and the journey becomes both physical and psychological.

/by Editor NastyLove and Psychosis / Guillotine
Guillotine steps forward as one of New York’s most arresting new voices, an artist shaped by the intensity of queer nightlife, the emotional voltage of personal rupture, and a background spent curating QPOC and LGBTQ+ spaces where liberation becomes ritual. Their debut EP “You’re Going To Be Ok, Just Not Tonight” turns that lived experience into a devotional landscape, merging spiritual imagery with a raw emotional autobiography.
In our conversation, Guillotine distills the essence of the project: love as devotion, heartbreak as ritual, and desire as a force that destroys and remakes.
