Summer’s photographs, often described as visual poems, explore the subconscious themes that shape the human experience.

On June 26, she will show the new collection she’s working on, which asks questions about the fate in our lives – what is habit and what is choice? Do the roles we play, patterns we form, and objects we use define us?

Summer Wagner is known for her surreal, story-driven imagery that blurs the line between reality and fantasy. Her work delves into the spiritual, ecological, and technological complexities of modern life.

We've had an amazing day with presentations by @keke_terminal (@dark_sando & @keryilmaz), followed by a panel with @shavonnewong_ [moderated by @sheldrick_ai] and a special afternoon with @0xTjo / @ram_dezin / Morale + @DaanRoosegaarde and @co_museum — and a beautiful sunset dinner 🌅

However, we haven't gone through the 2000+ photos yet, so here's one from @dedecim's talk yesterday🌴
