Canadian photographer Ulric Collette spent years developing 'Genetic Portraits', a series that seamlessly merges the faces of parents and children, siblings, cousins, and extended relatives into single, uncanny images.
đź“·
The results are both fascinating and slightly unsettling. By blending two people into one face, Collette reveals genetic similarities that often go unnoticed—aligning eyes, merging smiles, and fusing expressions into something that feels at once familiar and entirely new.

Launched in 2008, the project explores heredity, identity, and family connection, turning DNA into a visual language. What might normally exist as invisible traits suddenly becomes undeniable, confronting viewers with how much of ourselves is shared.
đź“·
Some portraits feel harmonious, others almost disjointed—but all of them challenge the idea of individuality, reminding us that identity is never entirely our own.

A floating beach ball by Damien Hirst hovers delicately above a bed of sharp glass—playful at first glance, but charged with quiet tension.
🥎🔪
The work was presented as part of Banksy’s Dismaland Bemusement Park, the subversive pop-up exhibition that opened in 2015 at the derelict Tropicana lido in Weston-super-Mare, England.
Bringing together over 50 artists, the project combined dark humor, political commentary, and what Banksy described as “entry-level anarchism.”
🥎🔪
Hirst’s installation fits seamlessly into that atmosphere: a fragile suspension of joy and danger, where a single shift could collapse the illusion.
Like much of his work, it captures a moment balanced between inevitability and uncertainty—inviting viewers to confront how easily something lighthearted can turn precarious.

From Iris van Herpen, the Dohrni Dress moves like something alive—an ethereal, flowing form that blurs the line between haute couture and sculpture.

Inspired by the immortal Dohrni jellyfish, a species capable of reversing its life cycle and beginning again, the piece embodies renewal, transformation, and the fluid nature of time. Its delicate, wave-like structures echo the quiet choreography of ocean life—drifting, evolving, and existing beyond fixed beginnings or endings.

Like much of van Herpen’s work, the dress doesn’t just belong on the runway. It exists equally within the world of contemporary art, with her pieces held in major museum collections such as the MoMA The Museum of Modern Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

The Dohrni Dress captures that rare space where fashion becomes more than clothing—it becomes a living idea. A meditation on nature, technology, and the infinite beauty of transformation.

A museum volunteer thought they were cleaning… but instead, they changed the artwork forever.
At the Keelung Museum of Art in Taiwan, Chen Sung-chih’s 'Inverted Syntax–16' looked deceptively simple: a mirror mounted on a wooden board, covered in dust.
But that dust wasn’t neglect—it had been accumulating for nearly 40 years as an essential part of the piece, reflecting time, memory, and human presence.

Mistaking it for dirt, a volunteer wiped the surface with toilet paper before staff could intervene, removing most of that carefully built-up layer. What seemed like a harmless act of maintenance ended up fundamentally altering the work—possibly irreversibly.

The piece was part of the exhibition 'We Are Me', where everyday materials are used to explore transformation and perception. Ironically, the incident now extends that idea even further. Some critics suggest the accidental cleaning has become part of the artwork’s evolving narrative—turning a mistake into meaning.

It raises an uncomfortable question at the heart of contemporary art: If context creates meaning… what happens when that context is wiped away?

At first glance, it looks like a giant retro microwave… but 'Microrave' at Artscape in Baltimore was anything but ordinary.

Created by the artist collective New American Public Art, this interactive installation transformed a nostalgic household appliance into a walk-in dance space—complete with lights, music, and just enough room for a tiny party inside.

Blending pop art aesthetics with playful absurdity, it invited visitors to literally step into an object they’d normally overlook.

Part sculpture, part performance, 'Microrave' played with scale, humor, and shared experience. What could have been a static object instead became a social space—one that turned curiosity into participation and strangers into collaborators, even if just for a few minutes.

Victoria Boissonnas explores instinct, emotion and the body through fluid, one-line drawing.

Letting movement guide the image, her practice embraces intuition over control—sometimes drawing with both hands simultaneously to create mirrored, rhythmic compositions.

Here, she transforms the window front of Wap Broderie in Geneva into a living canvas, where gesture unfolds in real time and the boundary between drawing and performance dissolves.

Joni Punto's kinetic sculpture, a drill-powered mechanism drives a wooden foot, mimicks the repetitive push of skateboarding.
🛹
The result is a strange, hypnotic automaton where movement exists without the skater, turning a familiar action into something mechanical and uncanny.
🛹
Balancing humor and experimentation, the piece sits between sculpture and performance—where energy, rhythm and motion are reduced to their most basic components.

Drawing from memory, landscape and myth, Andy Barrt’s black-and-white compositions carry an almost hypnotic intensity—ornamental yet deeply personal.

Adapting his work to performance art, the costumes, decorated with intense staring eyes feel like visual echoes of social media scrutiny - staring down at us: rhythmic, stark and immersive.

On view at CREA Cantieri del Contemporaneo in Venice through 31st August 2026.

A 40kg block of Carrara marble slowly dissolves in 'Liquifact' (2017) by German artist Lukas Liese.

At first, it reads as permanence—stone, weight, monument. But over time, the material begins to break down, softened by acid and water until it appears to melt away.

The work evokes the image of a glacier in collapse, translating the distant reality of climate change into something immediate and physical.

By combining marble, glass, steel and corrosive elements, Liese disrupts the idea of sculpture as something fixed. Instead, the work becomes an active process of decay—slow, inevitable, and impossible to ignore.

Plastic sheets drift and dance in the wind, turning an ordinary moment into something that feels like performance art—or an accidental museum installation.

Echoing the quiet poetry of a scene from the film American Beauty, the movement becomes hypnotic, almost cinematic.

“Have you ever felt like a plastic bag drifting through the wind?”

Captured by Indian creative Manju Nath Uchiha, the image reminds us how easily the everyday can slip into something surreal—where chance, motion and light create their own kind of choreography.
