BUNT x Maia del Estal – An Interview with Creative Director Amelie Trimpl

By /INTERVIEW, /NEWS/

The music changes, the lights flicker, and in walks Maia del Estal. Two models are standing in the middle of the room, looking at the crowd.
Maia del Estal begins painting the canvases that the models are wearing, filling the room with a presence that makes everyone hold their breath. Almost in a trance, she transforms the canvases, designed by Ciara Fitzgerald, into masterpieces. During the performance, the models tell a story of longing, of the search for a soulmate. They reach toward each other, trying to connect, but fail to do so—until the paintings are complete and they are meant to meet at the right moment. They join hands, the lights go off, and the crowd screams. This performance took place at Please Space Studios in Brooklyn, NY, conceived by German Creative Director Amelie Trimpl as the official launch of BUNT AGENCY, a New York City–based creative agency. The pieces are currently up for auction, with 50% of the proceeds from each piece going directly to Trans Lifeline, an organization that provides emotional and financial support to trans people in need. Receipts will be shared with buyers after purchase. The remaining 50% will go to the artist and designer.

Wings of Desire

By /FASHION/, /NEWS/

The shooting inspiration comes from Wings of Desire, a film released in 1987, directed by Wim Wenders. The film tells the story of a group of angels wandering in post-war Berlin, quietly observing and listening to the inner secrets and emotions of people-safeguarding a city filled with both scars and hope.
In this silent watch, one angel becomes deeply curious about human life and longs to break free from his transcendent existence. He wishes to personally experience the joys and sorrows of humanity, to feel the warmth and pain of life, and ultimately chooses to immerse himself in the mortal world in search of genuine, profound emotion.
The story features demons taking on various human roles, while the people observed by the angels are, in fact, often these demons-embodying the norms of the human condition: desire, suffering, greed, and tenderness. Eventually, the characters begin to recognize one another’s true identities. After the angel kills the demon, he comes to a realization: the human world is not so different. The demons are simply playing everyday roles. In the end, redemption and downfall are separated only by a single thought.
— Wei

Interview with dancer, actor and creator Stefanos Dimoulas and photographer G66

By /INTERVIEW, /NEWS/

From the tender architecture of ballet to the boldness of public advocacy, Stefanos Dimoulas moves through the world as both artist and activist. Known for his powerful portrayal of Greek composer Manos Hadjidakis in the award-winning documentary Manos Hadjidakis: Idol in the Mirror, and for his striking appearance on the cover of Attitude magazine alongside his father during Pride 2019, Dimoulas embodies a kind of modern mythology — rooted in Greece, shaped in London, and resonating across borders.

Trained at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, his neoclassical technique is refined and disciplined, yet his expression reaches far beyond tradition. On stage and in front of the lens, he uses movement to unravel inherited narratives and create new ones — ones that embrace queerness, migration, memory, and the evolving body.

In this exclusive conversation, Stefanos shares how he honors legacy through performance, reshapes classical form with personal truth, and choreographs emotion, history, and identity into a language all his own.

Gretchen Andrew’s Facetune Portraits: Universal Beauty

Limited series of unique oil paintings made using AI, algorithms and robotics to address today’s most pressing questions about who we are in relationship to who technology tells us we should be.

In Gretchen Andrew’s new series of Facetune Portraits, custom robotics scribe the popular AI-driven beauty filters of social media into oil paintings derived from images of quintessential beauty. Normally, on TikTok and via Zoom’s “touch up” feature, these visual modifications occur seamlessly and invisibly.  By making this process visible, Facetune Portraits reveals the messy co-existence we have with our digital selves.

​​Made up of a potential 100 Contestants from 100 different countries, Facetune Portraits: Universal Beauty looks at the homogenizing impact of this monocultural, single AI beauty standard across the faces and bodies of famously beautiful women from around the world. As this same algorithm sculpts the female form into a single, universal look, we see diversity disappear. While unaltered human faces coexist with the algorithmically ‚perfected‘ versions, a double portrait is created – a visualization of reality meeting desire. The result is a full-body portrait of tension, where each brush stroke, each smudge, each painterly contradiction is a record of disagreement between how our faces and bodies actually look and how AI says we should be.  ​

These  works outwardly portray the absurd, and too-real  scars of the hidden ‘perfections’ that lurk behind so many of the images we experience – revealing our desire not just to be beautiful, but to be like everyone else, accepted as much by the algorithms as by our peers.
