The dusky side of Arts and Fashion.
On Desintegration / Samuel Kerridge
With Memoir of Disintegration now out on Blueprint Records, Samuel Kerridge speaks about Downwards as context rather than concept, and about the shift from confrontation to clarity following Kick to Kill. The conversation moves through experimentation, defiance without nostalgia and the need to push sound and format until they break and begin to make sense again.

/by Editor NastyEsoterrorist / Lust for Paper
Esoterrorist is a publication that, much like its creator Genesis P-Orridge, refuses to be confined by definition or category, inhabiting a space that is deliberately unstable. In approaching its content, we have chosen to translate it into the form of a cut up, a process of dismantling and reassembling words that finds its origins in the experiments first of Brion Gysin and then William S. Burroughs.

/by Editor NastyOne Sun / Alexander Wessely
Alexander Wessely moves through sculpture, spatial installations, film and large-scale scenography with monolithic, ceremonial clarity and brutality. Light, body, architecture collide in spaces that feel almost ritualistic. He’s worked with The Weeknd, FKA Twigs, Grimes, Anyma, Arca. Shown at the Royal Dramatic Theatre, Konserthuset. Played with scale at Sphere in Las Vegas and at Madison Square Garden. He was the creative mind behind the 2025 Nobel Prize Ceremony, tracing light from the first spark of dawn. Stark. Precise. Brutal, if you want to call it that. And it works. Every single time. Leaves you altered, mesmerized, lingering, unsettling, like a forgotten memory that presses against the skin of the mind. In this conversation for NASTY, he reflects on perception as constructed, solitude as focus and why meaning in a world of infinite simulation only appears through limits.

This winter the mountains felt like a decision we could no longer postpone. The Dolomites waited like something out of a dream: patient, indifferent, impossibly vast, demanding attention, respect and a certain kind of honesty. Enjoy the discovery journey through the most iconic mountains of Northern Italy by a newly addicted to snow play.

/by adminLove Will Tear Us Apart / Ben Frost
In October 2025, Istanbul ‘74 presented Love Will Tear Us Apart, a new site-specific installation by Ben Frost that transforms a pair of adjoining rooms into a sound study of fractured communication. Using battered foldback monitors salvaged from years of stage use, Frost creates a sonic environment where signals drift, collide and dissolve across a physical divide. The work examines how individuals strain to reach one another, how intimacy is shaped by misalignment, and how even damaged instruments can carry the residue of longing.
