Sarto began this project after her partner’s grandmother was given a scrapbook of photographs spanning her life for her 80th birthday. The project centers on a fictional family, with its title taken from a variation of her’s great-grandmother’s surname. The series reconstructs moments one might find in a personal archive through staged scenes photographed in her grandmother’s home. The prints are then arranged within the scenes and photographed again, mirroring the way family photographs persist over time.

The series is on view at Villa Noailles in Hyères, France as part of the Festival d’Hyères until February 28, 2027.

Grützke was a Berlin painter who worked in oil and pastel. In 1973 he co-founded the Schule der neuen Prächtigkeit (School of New Splendor) with three other Berlin painters, a group that painted recognizable figures with a satirical edge at a time when abstraction dominated German art. He exaggerated the faces of his subjects, and often his own, to more accurately render their character.

Everhart is a street photographer working in Los Angeles. He aims to leave the viewer asking “How?”, a reaction he values above any praise. The answer in each case is the hundreds of miles he has walked through the city to find the moment.

This series photographs abandoned buildings, places where people once lived and worked. The buildings were made to last, and the people who used them did not expect them to end up this way, this soon. The series exlores the fact that permanence is never promised, to buildings or to people, and that the only certainty is the present.

This project is a portrait of Woods’ grandmother, Margaret, who was one of the original Playboy Bunny Girls in the 1960s. In later life, she has chosen to live in constant reflection on her own past, and the series explores how that reflection has shaped her attitudes toward beauty and aging, and her relationship with time.

This series was photographed in Chernihiv, in rural northern Ukraine, over several weeks in June 2026, while Barron stayed with local communities. The title comes from Psalm 23, "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil," a line the people of the region have been living with through four years of war. The series records what the war has cost the people there and the landscape around them.
