barbara Probst Photographer
Based between New York and Munich, German photographer Probst toys with the moment of photographic exposure, taking simultaneous shots using multiple cameras placed in different locations. For our fashion story (page 208), she dissects the dynamism of New York, offering dual perspectives of moments on a Soho street: ‘My work reveals the idea that we are all subjective; the way we look at things is very different and not necessarily right or wrong.’
beppe brancato Photographer
We’re very much at home in The Wallpaper* House this issue (page 113). Our room-by-room round-up of this year’s most fanciable furniture was photographed by long-time Wallpaper* contributor Brancato. ‘I like to get on set with a free mind, without boundaries, to be able to play with the lights like I did for this story, where every location has its own lighting,’ says the Milan-based photographer, who is currently busy working on This Will be the Place, an ongoing book project for Cassina.
Maria Sobrino Wallpaper* interiors stylist
Sobrino has realised some of Wallpaper’s most beautiful interiors stories. This month her Space story (page 196) and newsstand cover are an immersive visual narrative in the distinctive palette and geometry of Russian Constructivism. She has long been drawn to the movement’s simplicity and boldness, she says, and, working with photographer Tommaso Sartori, sought to ‘encapsulate what an El Lissitzky painting would look like if you lived in it, as a threedimensional space’.
alicja Kwade artist
With three solo shows opening this autumn – at Berlin’s König Galerie, Copenhagen’s Kunsthal Charlottenborg and Finland’s Espoo Museum of Modern Art – Polish conceptual artist Kwade is set for a busy summer. We imagine that she’ll be eating plenty of her favourite green papaya salad, a brightly flavoured, weather-appropriate dish that can be fixed up in a matter of minutes. See her recipe for our Artist’s Palate series, page 226.
benoît loiseau Writer
A Belgian-born writer who shuttles between Mexico City and London, Loiseau is currently busy curating a show of João Gabriel’s work at Galeria Mascota in Mexico. For us this month, he travelled to France to visit Jorge Pardo’s latest project, a hotel inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s stay in Arles (page 080). ‘Pardo has introduced his own take on the site, bringing the colours and materials of his adopted home of Yucatán, while paying homage to van Gogh’s vision.’
Sarah evans illustrator
British architect-turned-artist Evans is the founder of London design studio Oscar Francis. For this issue, she illustrated a medley of international projects by emerging practices for our Architects’ Directory (page 102), in her studio’s signature graphic, block-colour approach. ‘It’s great to see the varied and exciting projects from architects around the world,’ says Evans, who is currently preparing her display for an upcoming group exhibition at Jealous in London.
