Goddesses, princes and zoomorphic creatures make up a portrait gallery at once beautiful and intriguing, peopled with beings shaped from some mythical, cosmic substance.These apparitions born of the union of Humankind, of Nature and of the Universe, invite us to share, as if in a time capsule, in a journey across the ages, perhaps to discover a totally different reality. “

May Parlar Photography
“Berlin-based photographer and video artist May Parlar often uses outdoor open spaces for her impressive fine art photographs. She creates performative images exploring the human condition and the nomadic experience of ‘being’ in constructed realities. The idea of self, time & memory, the notions of belonging and alienation are recurrent themes in her practice.”
“I work across different mediums such as photography, film, performance art, sculpture, installation, and landscape art; and all of which gets merged in the end and put together with a glue that for me is the camera”
Blair Martin Cahill
“There are layers in all we see, do and present in our lives. These are the elements which we want to show, conceal, or perhaps only hint at. What is revealed is equally important to what is not, and both are needed to capture an entire vision.” - Blair Martin Cahil

Prostocrew Chaos Identity by Roma Erohnovich

Roma Erohnovich team released the first iteration of a formless identity three years ago, and with the current redesign, we replenish the lexicon and make metaphors out of those new meanings.
