Rediscovering Lolita Danse, a Radical Parisian Dance Collective **Lolita Danse** was a Paris-based performance collective formed in 1981. Hailing from as a far as Mexico, Brazil, Auvergne, and Catalonia, and as near as Bretagne, Vendée, Perpignan and Lorgues, its ten members – Catherine, Arnaud, Daria, Dominique, Santiago, Alain, Thierry, Eric, Marcia and Philippe – were united by a drive to topple conformist homogeneity and hierarchy in dance (and in life) and create through, and according to, difference. Some were lighting designers,hellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (20 images)nbsp;

Lewis Hamilton: Where Intention Leads, the Journey Continues _This story is taken from Another Man China, Issue 17:_ Upon reflection, Formula 1 is a sport defined by paradox. It pursues ultimate speed, embodying pure fluidity – victories decided in milliseconds, a calendar that races across more than twenty global locations. Yet it unfolds on closed, looping circuits, twenty-two cars tracing the same path, lap after lap. It is precisely this paradox that makes F1 a profound metaphor for travel andhellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (13 images)nbsp;

Paula Beer Is the Riddling Heart of Christian Petzold’s Cinema There’s something ineffable at the heart of Christian Petzold’s cinema, a mystery that refuses to unravel. More often than not, that mystery revolves around the figure of **Paula Beer** : a mainstay across all of Petzold’s films since 2018’s Transit, the 31-year-old actor has become the riddling presence at the heart of his work. “I feel like every character in Christian’s movies that he has a relationship with are kind of a mystery for him,” says Beer. “When I prepare hishellip; read more raquo;

AnOther Loves: A Volucrine Minaudière Chemena Kamali’s revitalisation of **Chloé** is interesting because it’s anything but homogenous. After all, what does Chloé actually stand for? In reality, tantalisingly nothing – there is no Chloé, it’s a name chosen for no reason other than the fact its founder, Gaby Aghion, liked the way its curvilinear lines looked. Which gives you the room to invent anew. While many can’t think of Chloé without throwing back to its floaty boho roots in the early 1970s – roots whichhellip; read more raquo;

“We’re Calling It a Future-Spective”: Inez Vinoodh on Their New Show The Dutch photographers **Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin** met in the early 1980s, as students at the Fashion Academy Vogue in Amsterdam. Their first collaboration took place in 1986, when Matadin commissioned Van Lamsweerde to photograph a fashion show for his short-lived clothing line, Lawina. Six years later, the duo fell in love, their romantic relationship taking shape alongside their already-burgeoning artistic partnership. And they haven’thellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (10 images)nbsp;

The Scandalous “Naked Ballerina” That Inspired Florentina Holzinger _This story is taken from the Spring/Summer 2026 issue of AnOther Magazine:_ “The dancer Trixie Cordua studied under George Balanchine and Merce Cunningham and was famously known as the ‘naked ballerina’, but by her thirties she was considered ‘too old’ for ballet. She started teaching and had her own art practice, revelling in all that ballet had refused and sanitised – mess, blood, abjection. She was an artist whose choices contrasted with conventionalhellip; read more raquo;

Five Groundbreaking Dream Sequences From Silent Cinema When **Gerald Fox** attended a film studies course taught by renowned scholar Vlada Petrić, he was struck by the late Harvard professor’s essay Film amp; Dreams. The essay offered a survey of the “oneiric style” – a style that evoked the sensation and substance of dreams – that flourished in silent cinema. Decades’ worth of early 20th century films were analysed through “the prism of dreams”. As surrealist master Luis Buñuel put it, “Dreams are the first cinema invented byhellip; read more raquo;

Josie Hall’s Arresting Photos Invoke the Ancient Japanese Art of Kendo **Josie Hall** creates arresting, often surreal images which exist at the intersection of art, fashion and futurism (underscored by her interest in nostalgia and tradition). The London-based photographer’s upcoming exhibition, **Red Patience** , is the apotheosis of these influences. Previously, she’s shot for the likes of Balenciaga, Martine Rose and Prada, but in this show, Hall takes the martial art of Kendo as a prism through which to explorehellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (11 images)nbsp;

Dozie Kanu: “The Best Thing I Can Do Is Make What I Know” “For an artist, there’s really only one pursuit,” **Dozie Kanu** tells me, laughing slightly before landing on the word: “Dopeness. If my only goal is to make the most fire work possible, with no monetary motivation, no desire for recognition, everything else falls into place.” Kanu is speaking over Zoom from his studio in Portugal about his first commercial furniture line in collaboration with Knoll, the Americanhellip; read more raquo;

This Book Chronicles the Compelling Love Story of Peter Hujar and Paul Thek Writer **Andrew Durbin** has a theory that the first 24 hours of a relationship tell you everything you need to know about how it will evolve. “Every serious relationship I’ve had, the whole arc is contained within that first day,” he says. We sit in silence for a moment, contemplating this idea. We’ve been discussing **Peter Hujar** and read more raquo;

Indya Moore on Grief, Family Ties and Activism **Indya Moore** ’s performance in **Father Mother Sister Brother** , the beguiling new film from Jim Jarmusch, shimmers with warm authenticity. The director’s 14th feature is a tight triptych of unconnected stories that come together to say something profound about family ties. The first vignette follows a strange encounter between an evasive father (Tom Waits) and his aloof children (Adam Driver and Mayim Bialik), while the second centres on Charlotte Rampling’shellip; read more raquo;

Cao Fei’s New Show Looks at Labour in the Age of Artificial Intelligence “Technology is both the remedy and the poison,” artist **Cao Fei** quotes Bernard Stiegler in the catalogue for **Dash** , her major new exhibition at Fondazione Prada. The title refers to the high-frequency whirr of a drone in flight: the speeding buzz of intense precision of an autonomous machine edging out of human grasp. That tension is the subject of Dash, with a new film of the same title, a virtual reality game, installations and an archive produced ashellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (20 images)nbsp;

Fidan Novruzova Designs From the Self, For the Self There’s a particular kind of designer who insists their work is not about them, the art and the artist operating entirely separate from one another. Then there’s womenswear designer **Fidan Novruzova** , who is refreshingly honest about the opposite. “I design by projecting my own needs,” she smiles. “I have very big personal orders every season from me to me. I’ll be honest, it’s one of the best parts of doing what I’m doing.” read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (7 images)nbsp;

Johny Pitts’ Poetic Photos Captures the Realities of Being Afropean In 2010, Sheffield-born **Johny Pitts** travelled around Europe to search for the meaning of ‘Afropean’. “When I first heard Afropean, it encouraged me to think of myself as whole and unhyphenated,” he explains at the beginning of his critically-acclaimed book Afropean: Notes from Black Europe, published in 2019. Coined in the 1990s, the term was first used in the realms of music and fashion before Pitts reframed it as a utopian alternative – a more positive label forhellip; read more raquo; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; View Gallery (11 images)nbsp;

AnOther Loves: A Cavalier Bucket Fold Boot These days, archival navel-gazing isn’t so much optional approach as rite of passage for a designer moving into an established house – the idea being that you prove your nous and knowledge through deep dives into the unexpected recesses of a brand’s back-catalogue, unearthing forgotten treasures or hidden gems that can be revived and made relevant a second time (or third, or fourth) time round.

Agon, a Strange Trip into the Lives of Athletes **Giulio Bertelli** describes his artful feature debut as “techno realism”. A hybrid of documentary, drama, video games, sci-fi-like interfaces and the replays and commentary of sports broadcasting, it has the uncanny feel of a William Gibson novel, transplanted onto celluloid. After taking home the FIPRESCI Prize at Venice Critics’ Week last year,**** this month **Agon** is part of the Lincoln Center’s Newhellip; read more raquo;

A Gripping Debut Novel with an Intense Female Friendship at Its Centre Friendship and obsession are at the core of **Stephanie Wambugu** ’s debut novel, **Lonely Crowds**. The book’s protagonist and narrator, Ruth, becomes almost instantaneously bound to Maria upon their first encounter as little girls, and through the book, we see this relationship and their selfhoods evolve.

Young-jun Tak’s Eyes Are Always on the Audience _This story is taken from the Spring/Summer 2026 issue of AnOther Magazine:_ “My first job was as an usher at the Seoul Arts Center, a concert hall and opera house in South Korea. If I was lucky enough to be assigned to supervise inside the halls, I could see world-class stage arts for free. But the six months I spent working there left me with a side-effect – I could no longer focus on the stage, because my job was to police the crowd with an eagle eye, to catchhellip; read more raquo;

How to Throw the Ultimate Dinner Party, According to Jago Rackham **To Entertain** , the debut by the writer and cook **Jago Rackham** , is not an easy book to categorise. Subtitled ‘instructions for a dinner party’, online it’s listed variously as a ‘party planning’, ‘etiquette’ or ‘food and drink’ title. Reading it, though, quickly you come to see it less as a set of instructions and more as a brilliant, genre-defying work; part-memoir, part-recipe book, and with a dedication to beautyhellip; read more raquo;
