.LE MILE ART

Stijn Koks builds worlds. Objects hold weight, fabric carries memory, silhouettes tell untold stories. His work moves through instinct, shaped by process rather than control. Knights of Nostalgia extends this language—sci-fi headpieces, repurposed textures, the raw and the unreal. Film becomes a pulse, turning garments into atmospheres. Koks reworks discarded pieces, not to recycle, but to shift meaning. In this interview, he speaks about movement, material, and the tension between impulse and precision.

Identity is a battlefield—caught between fitting in and standing out, bodies are pushed to extremes. Fashion steps in as both mirror and rebellion, challenging the lines of beauty with the grotesque. It reflects transformation as garments become skin, bone, and spirit, inviting viewers to confront humanity’s rough edges and redefine beauty beyond familiar boundaries.

.LE MILE INTRODUCES

Director Andrew Winghart offers a profound exploration of resilience and rebirth in his latest dance film, "Step Into The Light." Produced in collaboration with Columbia Performing Arts Center, the film chronicles the journey of young dancers emerging from the shadows of pandemic-induced isolation into a world radiant with newfound hope and beauty.

Originally staged as a live performance, "Step Into The Light" seamlessly transitions to the silver screen, merging haunting vocals with evocative choreography. Shot in mesmerizing 35mm, every detail, from the vulnerability in dancer Brianna Keingatti's eyes to the gentle sway of fabric, is captured with pristine clarity. Winghart's film is a testament to the human spirit's ability to find light in the darkest times. Experience yourself and find your own connection to hope.
