For well over a year, we’ve immersed ourselves in the evolving landscape of contemporary imagery. As we shaped this issue of Flash Art, global events forced us – like the rest of the world – to continuously reassess themes, content, and our editorial approach. This journey led us to explore a more grounded visual language, moving away (even though not entirely) from heavily manipulated digital aesthetics in favor of imagery that feels raw, immediate, and non-indexical.

At the heart of the spring issue of Flash Art are artists who have forged profound connections with photography and filmmaking. With each one of our publications – and through our daily presence on social media – we search for the ideal image: one that captures a state of mind, resonates with readers, lends itself to being ossified, or politicizes a concept when necessary. The artists featured in his issue redefine photographic and cinematic narratives, offering fresh perspectives on how we perceive and construct reality.
