The Dolomites waited like something out of a dream: patient, indifferent, impossibly vast, demanding attention, respect and a certain kind of honesty. Enjoy the discovery journey through the most iconic mountains of Northern Italy by a newly addicted to snow play.

In October 2025, Istanbul ‘74 presented Love Will Tear Us Apart, a new site-specific installation by Ben Frost that transforms a pair of adjoining rooms into a sound study of fractured communication. Using battered foldback monitors salvaged from years of stage use, Frost creates a sonic environment where signals drift, collide and dissolve across a physical divide. The work examines how individuals strain to reach one another, how intimacy is shaped by misalignment, and how even damaged instruments can carry the residue of longing.
