Beautiful Error
She, doll-like, wakes up in an abandoned house, disconnected from herself. The space mirrors her inner world. Empty, forgotten, broken. Between plastic and flesh, between control and chaos we fall apart. And we are reborn. A story by Lila Alimova.

/by Editor NastyFragments of the Self / Francois X
In a time where identity is often packaged, flattened, and made palatable for algorithmic feeds, François X resists easy definition. Born between Corsica and Benin, shaped by sounds that stretch from the vinyl stacks of Fania Records to the raw pulse of Parisian club nights, his music is neither fusion nor collage. It’s something more elemental, a process of remembering, returning, resisting.

When Barry and Michèle first crossed paths in the quiet surrealism of Venice, a wordless connection sparked between sculptor and collector; rooted in observation, curiosity and creation. After a Milan morning spent wandering potential exhibition spaces to exhibit the bust Barry sculpted of Michèle Lamy and the Rick Owens boutique –like ghosts casing a temple– we sat down to speak. About monolithic stones. About machines. About art as resistance; against time, against meaninglessness, against death itself.
