“Being a teenager outside of a major city in the UK involves long periods of loitering — they’re great conditions for dreaming, I think”.

MUSE TALK

JEFF WALL

“The term cinematography creates a terrain in which the tableau and the cinematographic can interact. Those two concepts create a sort of suspended or rarified space in which fiction, the document, the artificial, the spontaneous, the calculated, the accidental, all begin to interact in complex ways. I prepare meticulously what can be meticulously prepared.” – Jeff Wall

FROM THE MAGAZINE

KUDZANAI-VIOLET HWAMI

Kudzanai-Violet Hwami’s practice is a profound exploration of identity, memory, and the intricate interplay between the past and the present. Her paintings express a compelling ambiguity, continually probing the boundaries of images and visual cultures in their representation of identity. Hwami’s creative journey embodies a complex weave of personal encounters and influences, migration, and cultural amalgamation.

MUSE TALK

KYLE STAVER

Kyle Staver tells Bill Powers about how she undertakes her artistic practice, infused with deep meanings borrowed from the fantastical world of mythology. Perseverance and humor intricately characterize her work.

TALK

CAMILLE COTTIN

Her smile came on set even before she did, and everyone instantly loved her. Camille is dragging energy, powerful and unfiltered, almost child-like. The roles she chooses to play are often characterized by duality. She portrays responsible women, who face crises and sorrows with determination, but with a touch of irony and a light soul.

CARSTEN HÖLLER

Ever Höller, Höller Ever

Carsten Höller allowed space for creativity by being portrayed in Stockholm, within the spaces of his provocative restaurant Brutalisten, and recounting his enormous approach to the art of experimentation and his fantastic practice evolved over the course of the experience.
