Wish You Were Here at TICK TACK in Antwerp unfolds as an exhibition that begins from the very first look while on the street and lingers like a tormented presence long after leaving the space. Curated by Maria Abramenko, the show weaves personal loss and collective anxiety into a dense, haunted narrative where fire, sound and spectral images become carriers of memory. Open until 21 March 2026, it invites the viewer into an experience that is less about passive looking and more about actively inhabiting grief.

Copenhagen Fashion Week A/W26 once again emerged as one of fashion’s most quietly radical stages, where experimentation was rooted in rethinking how and why clothes are made. Upcycling and secondhand materials functioned as givens rather than statements, balancing political urgency with emotional depth. Across the city, designers embraced softness and vulnerability, moving fluidly between introspection, subversion, and nostalgia, with sustainability seamlessly built in.

The Story of the Eye by Four Chambers returns to that raw territory, where the body is neither symbol nor spectacle, but material, impulse, and archive. Presented as an immersive, living environment, the project dismantles inherited ways of looking at imagery and repositions sexuality as a site of artistic research, authorship, and agency.

“We are always late,” the artist says, suggesting that being contemporary means relating to our timeline rather than simply chasing modernity. In their work, presence and invisibility intertwine, revealing that a space “is never empty” and that what it is hidden, what seems absent often speaks the loudest.
