Digging Wounds / Shirin Neshat
If there is an image that can capture Shirin Neshat’s work, it is a wound first touched, the finger sliding over old cuts once stitched together. In this three-voice interview we confront both her major works and her newest pieces, tracing the tangled threads between her art and the geopolitical violence unfolding around us.

Negitiv is not the typical hard techno DJ. She’s a force of nature. Over time, she transitioned from psy-trance and darker electronic styles before landing on the raw and high-bpm energy of hard techno, Schranz, and industrial.

A shimmer caught between signal and silence. Forms stretch, dissolve, reappear. Time glitches, texture speaks. What once was solid now hums with absence, like something recalled too late to hold.

Bande à Part is an ecosystem of raw sound, of strings stretched to the point of breaking, vocals bent and twisted into cries carved from an aching body.

The song will premiere on the occasion of a the single release show at The Old Blue Last on October 2nd.

A getaway dressed in gloss and fury. They move with purpose. Unbothered and unstoppable. Every step is styled in defiance. Cash floats like confetti. The heat of the day clings to their skin, but nothing slows the stride. This isn’t revenge. It’s reclamation with interest.

London Fashion Week has never been subtle, but this season felt especially charged. A citywide pulse of risk, imagination, and uncompromising taste. Designers here are not chasing trends; they are shaping the direction of fashion, insisting on texture, story, and tension over swipeable spectacle. From Dreaming Eli’s ritualistic Sicilian shadows to Dilara Findikoglu’s pale, rebellious ghost brides, the runways were full of intimacy, weight, and electric disturbance — moments that linger long after the lights dim. This is fashion as ritual, as rebellion, as the world shifting under our feet.

“Online, I want the work to live forever” he affirms when asked about how his work interacts differently within the digital and physical realm. Having a foundation as a sculpture, it was through programming that artist Damon Zucconi first started to evaluate words as the raw material from which to shape his coded-based art: a shift of paradigm that brought him to view text as a matter with its own agency.

Berlin hums with unfinished echoes, a city built on fractures and in-betweens. At Monopol, Ballet Sur_real fuses dance and installation in Modalities of Me. Five figures embody power, chaos, fragility, and ferality, exploring desire, intimacy, and identity through club culture, digital life, and hyper-capitalist pressures. A body becomes a question, a space becomes alive, and identity splinters into light, sound, and shadow.

Berlin Atonal closed its latest edition just weeks ago, leaving behind more than a festival of electronic music and experimental art. Returning from the city, clarity emerged: this year was a meditation on Berlin itself—its history, its architecture, its ghosts. More than performances or installations, Atonal revealed how a space becomes alive, how risk defines art, and how presence transforms encounter.

Half-dream, half-commute. Somewhere between the sharp edges of city life and the soft folds of sleep. She floats through the morning rush like a misplaced thought. In her daze, the absurd becomes routine, and routine becomes performance. A story by Zhong Feng and Sica.
