"Soon after embarking on my Black Carnation series, I’ve realized that I am dealing with histories that had often left no written trace, that were deliberately forgotten or censored. I am reflecting on relationships that most likely lasted no longer than an orgasm on a gay cruising beach," shares artist Konstantin Zhukov in an interview, connecting to a solo exhibition at Centrum för Fotografi in Stockholm.

"Once the exhibition’s Italian geography is registered, it becomes impossible, at least for me as a long-time cinephile, not to open a little window in my mind towards cinematic references, such as the Visconti and Scola films of my teenage years. I think of the country road in Visconti’s Ossessione, and the dramatic tension that cuts through the everyday surroundings," finds Ashik Zaman about the work of artist Marta Bencivenni.

"Regardless of all good will and clever rhetoric, people identified as men solve their troubles by physical means," says Finnish visual artist Harri Pälviranta. He is currently showing his photographic series Battered in Harder Better Faster Stronger – Are Men OK?, a new exhibition surveying contemporary men and masculinities at Fotografiska in Stockholm.
