Exposures: Music needs room to breathe

Weekly selection of must-watch movies with a common thread.

A tribute to master Ennio Morricone.

Ennio, how could your melodies dip us in a sea of such intense emotions? Like a river that will continue to flow and supply the waters of the ocean, you will resonate in our minds for eternity. Each note will keep on grabbing hold of us while opening the door to the realm of memories, dreams and universal situations in which we can identify ourselves. You shared with us all your talent yet one thing is sure: there is something we couldn’t grasp. From where your soul, heart and instinct would draw the vigour to continually spawn pure art, will forever remain your fascinating secret.
With a repertoire of more than 500 film soundtracks, this is a selection of 10 movies, from iconic favorites to niche gems. / Curated by @isabelevangelisti

Days of heaven, Arabian nights, Nuovo cinema paradiso, Spasmo, Once upon a time in the West, The witches, The Untouchables, Tie me up! Tie me down!, Once upon a time in America, The hateful eight.

Balkan Erotic Epic / Marina Abramovic

Art&Culture | Spotlight
More than a retrospective, Marina Abramović return to Berlin reads like an invocation. Gropius Bau becomes a site of repetition, sacrifice and desire, bringing together fifty years of performances, sound works, photographs, films and live reperformances that continue to unsettle the limits between artist, witness and participant. Her first major solo exhibition in Berlin since the 1990s. Extended due to overwhelming public demand, the exhibition closes permanently on 30 August 2026, curated by Agnes Gryczkowska and Jenny Schlenzka with Elena Franziska Setzer and Savannah Thümler.

Living The Simulation / Oguz

Music | Interview
He said something most people think but hardly say out loud: sometimes who sees you the most, understands you the least. 2M followers. Twenty-five thousand people in a crowd. His logo tattooed on strangers’ skin. And still, somewhere underneath all of it, a kid from the Netherlands who was too Turkish there and too Dutch in Turkey. You know that feeling. The one where you perform so well that people forget to ask who you actually are. He flew to Milan, stood in the rain for this cover shoot and did the hardest thing we asked: he stopped performing. Shot by Marco Giuliano and styled by Anca Macavei.

At the Threshold of Sound / Lost Music Festival 2026

Music | Spotlight
The fifth edition of Lost Music Festival returned to Labirinto della Masone, the world's largest bamboo labyrinth in Fontanellato, Italy. Before the first experimental electronic music performance, the festival had already settled into its own rhythm. The bamboo, the gathering crowd and a programme of site-specific works shaped an environment where sound, contemporary art and nature dissolved into a single experience.
