This issue is a live wire. A refusal to archive. A study in velocity. Every editorial and perspective moves at the speed of instinct. Pure preamble. Pure aftermath. Pure impact. Ana Polvorosa fractures narrative with a stare. Gab Bois dissects the object until it slips into something unfamiliar. PiTA translates body memory into ritual, fully immersed in its own time. Wanda Lephoto stitches resistance into silhouette, fabric as voice. Yulia Pavlen builds presence in transit—on subway seats, in digital currents, mid-movement. Milena Smit sharpens emotion into shape, her screen presence folding seamlessly into lens-based language. Francesco Ruggiero bends light into choreography, where form becomes sensation. Ali Guty constructs surfaces with tension and precision—every image a scene, every detail deliberate.

Agnes Tassel distills complexity into frame, directing the gaze without overture. Renaud Salmon speaks in scent—notes, infusions, layers—a visual language of molecules and memory. Monique Faber pushes narrative into abstraction, capturing rhythm, residue, and psychological nuance. Sun Yuan & Peng Yu inject the mechanical with pulse, expanding perception through sculptural time.

Each perspective acts as signal. EPHEMERAL moves through tension. It rewrites space.
