L'entre-soi [ L'En-quête ]. Part I. Les Voyages Immobiles By Bau Hett Oriented around nature and gardens, Bau Hett's series Les Voyages Immobiles acts as personal reflection akin to a diary, framed in a way that seeks to question the pieces of the past that we keep within ourselves. Hett lived in Paris for ten years. As someone coming … Continue reading Reconstructing the Past with Bau Hett
Ole Marius Joergensen practices a different type of conceptual photography from what we normally feature on Vulgaris. Like most of our other features, his work centres around and explores a central concept or theme. However, what makes Joergensen special, is that his work is not only conceptual, but narrative. When asked what he enjoys about photography … Continue reading Future Blue Is Waiting For You by Ole Marius Joergensen
For many, mornings under the circumstances of modern capitalism are characterized by the advent of a communal voyage to work—namely, commuting. The sphere of commuting is one in ever-present flux and motion in which time and place become ambiguous. We fall into a state of quasi-death and timelessness once we board the train, as the day only begins once the destination is reached. Del Bascus brilliantly stops time in the journey to and from work—she captures stillness and certainty in a realm that is oft wholly ambiguous.
After moving to New York to further pursue an instruction in photography that began in Jerusalem, Niv Rozenberg began photographing his immediate surroundings in the Brooklyn neighbourhood of Bushwick.

Although Morgan's work is largely centred around inanimate objects, she has a way of bringing them vividly to … Continue reading Turning the Ordinary into the Extraordinary with Wendy Morgan
In early April 2016 I arrived in Vienna Austria and planned to stay until the end of August. I was there for personal reasons; personal reasons that would plague me throughout my trip, and eventually resulted in an early departure at the end of June for Venice where I would recuperate. Except for a short … Continue reading A Quiet Horror by James Lewicki
Horace said that a poem should be dulce et utile, sweet and useful. I can think of little better to describe Daniel Kovalovszky's new series, "Scenes of Infernal Play". Without a doubt the key term to describe this new body is conceptual, yet such a broad stroke of a term may underemphasize its duality. There … Continue reading Scenes of an Infernal Play By Daniel Kovalovszky

POP POP POP is an apt name for Anne-Sophie Landou’s series, which modifies popular imagery and forms to challenge the status and effects of those symbols. If you’ll allow it: she pops pop with pop. Landou’s technique reimagines previously captured images by manipulating them to different effects. Changes to the colour palette are common, often … Continue reading POP POP POP by Anne-Sophie Landou
