/by Editor NastyThe Brief Unseen / Anri Sala
For Sala, the experience of entering a world that had once been inaccessible became inseparable from the question of how we perceive and understand it. Growing up in Albania under communism and later arriving in Paris, he encountered a plethora of unfamiliar artistic forms, as well as an entirely different set of lenses through which to make sense of the world. That tension between the known and the newly imaginable continues to run through his practice. Across sound, image, language, material and time, Sala explores the spaces between perception and intuition, intention and accident, the tangible and the immaterial. His works ask us to question and dissolve the reality of what we see and hear, and what might exist in the interval between them.

There are places that only make sense after sunset. VOODOO begins where the familiar dissolves: a forest lit by fire, sound echoing between the trees, strangers moving as if they've been following the same ritual for years. Nothing asks for your attention; everything pulls you further in. This autumn, the ritual returns.

/by adminThe Power Of Music / Freddy K
He came out of punk, where saying no is a discipline, and then spent forty years declining to fight anything from outside. Virus went on air in Rome in 1993 — eight until midnight, every night, eight years — named for what enters a system unnoticed and changes it from inside. KEY Vinyl runs the same way: he turns down more records than he takes and sends honest feedback with every rejection, because a door was closed on him once in Berlin and he was told the DJ doesn't know you. He left Rome at the moment the city stopped letting him grow. Everything he has made: the radio, the label, the fifteen-hour closings is a way of getting back to the side of the booth he came from.

/by Editor NastyWhere Is My Home? / Anatoly Shabalin K.
There is a wooden box inside artist’s Berlin studio, built to the exact measurements of a seated body. What began as a purely functional structure has become, perhaps, an answer to a generational need: to find a place to settle when the rest of the world no longer seems to hold. We spoke about disorientation, about a low-grade anxiety that never fully switches off, and about the relentless pressure of images and information that accumulate without ever resolving into meaning. In this vortex of sensations, artistic practice becomes a refuge. Perhaps the only safe harbor left.

Callush exists in a constant pull between intensity and softness. Her music is relentless and the person behind it speaks with surprising openness about doubt, instinct, boundaries and the parts of herself that success has sharpened. For the Nasty Cover, she looks back on seven years of building an artist identity, what Berlin continues to give her, the habit of adapting to everyone else, and the moment intuition became more valuable than perfection. Photographed by Marco Giuliano and styled by Anca Macavei.
