Freshest stories
Marisa Papen x Frank Rose
Frank and I met last year in March. He wrote me an e-mail with the idea to travel to the 'desert' in Spain and create a fine art print-series under the title 'Road to Liberation'. 2 months later we scheduled in the trip, only thing, we never made it to Spain...

The thinnest ice looks the most blue under the moonlight - by Esteban Wautier
It’s never good to lay with a glass of gin and wonder what’s life about,
Is it about the winning and the losing.
And if so which will begin. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions so stop talking and listen, I’m not saying don’t go helping.

Gender & Sexuality - Playboy Summer Issue
In the United States, same-gender sexuality has become more acceptable in the past two decades, and the number of people who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual is increasing as well for this reason. But in most areas of the world, sexual minorities are discriminated, yes still today.

The day after Purim - by Gary Breckheimer
21st of March 2019 - Williamsburg, Brooklyn - As you know (see previous story) we had big plans for this day. It was going to be the actual final chapter, I know I keep saying that but this time for real, of the FXCKRLGN-story. And as you might have figured out by now, I go through the same prep for every single one of these shoots... I watch documentaries, read upon the history, this trip I had even spend a week before-hand in the neighborhood, to observe and to try to ‘understand’ their community as much as I could...

Everyone can be topless in NY - by Robert Herman
Less then 100 years ago, believe it or not, male nipples were considered just as taboo as female nipples. . In the 1930s, four men went shirtless to Coney Island, they got arrested. Then, in 1935, a mob of topless men in Atlantic City protested; 42 got arrested, but their efforts paid off: By 1936, the naked male chest became accepted as a social norm. Today, men walk around freely topless and you see at least ten bare male chests per fashion magazine. Women’s chests? Not so much in the 1930s, and not so much now...

La Vita Extra Vierge
Salve Ragazzi!
For our new story and campagne, we crossed Europe by car for a 3week-journey around Italy. We started in Venice to go down all the way to Puglia and Calabria, the most southern parts of the country... and back.
'Nothing comes easily' is a known expression, but our journey became by far the most challenging quest we ever undertook. Total carfailure and hours of negotiations with southern Italian mechanics who never heard of any other language than Italian.... At times we were wondering if our campagne had to be canceled. We refused to, couldn't accept that. And we kept on going, whatever challenge we were confronted with.
It took energy and effort, improvisation at times...
BUT the results of this campaign are worth all the trouble.
Best one by far, in our opinion.
Truly proud to present you our fictional Short Story, 'La Vita Extra Vierge'.
The story presents you a 'lovestory gone bad' and the aftermath, a clash of opinions and break loose from the regional authentic life in the South to follow a dream and make it in the biggest city of the North, Milano.
Hope you all get carried away, by our pictures and story.
