FERNANDO MONTIEL KLINT – El Anfibio Dorado<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fernando Montiel Klint is unsettled by humanity\u2019s growing disconnection from nature. Out of this unease, The Golden Amphibian<\/em> was born, exploring humans as one species among many. Guided by science and ancestral cosmogony, the project transforms perceptions of nature into a mental realm beyond the physical. It questions identity, interdependence, and our relationship with other living beings, envisioning a world where humans, animals, plants, and the microscopic intertwine\u2014a realm of hybridity, transformation, and shared fragility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fernando Montiel Klint (Mexico City, 1978) is a visual artist whose work explores nature, science, fiction, and ancestral cosmogony. His pieces are in major collections worldwide, including the Museum of Avant-Garde (Switzerland), Guangdong Museum of Art (China), and Wittliff Collection (USA). He has exhibited at Les Rencontres d\u2019Arles, PhotoEspa\u00f1a, and the Victoria & Albert Museum, and has received awards such as the Acquisition Award at the 20th Mexico Photography Biennial (2023). Montiel Klint is a member of Mexico\u2019s National System of Artistic Creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

G\u00c1BOR ARION KUD\u00c1SZ – WORKOUT – a fine sense of patriotism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the 16th Sokol Slet in Prague, 10,000 gymnasts perform massive choreographies, forming roses, hearts, falcons, and flags. Originating in 19th-century Sokol clubs, the event once fueled Czech and Slovak national consciousness and later became the socialist Spartakiada, drawing hundreds of thousands. Today, it is a smaller, community-oriented celebration of tradition, mixing patriotic motifs with youthful energy. Photographing nearly a hundred groups, Arion focused on the tiny cells of these vast formations\u2014some disciplined and proud, others detached, teens more interested in music, sports, fashion, and subcultures than in ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

G\u00e1bor Arion Kud\u00e1sz (Budapest, 1978) is a photographer whose work blends documentary and staged elements, using manipulation to reveal deeper truths. Since 2000, his focus has shifted from landscapes and urban development to private histories, memory, and the interplay of human ambition and technology.He studied at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest, where he now teaches in the Photography Master\u2019s and Doctoral programs. His work has earned awards including the Robert Capa Grand Prize (2015) and the Balogh Rudolf Award (2013). He exhibits internationally, publishes limited-edition artist books, and leads workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ANA N\u00da\u00d1EZ RODR\u00cdGUEZ – Cooking Potato Stories<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking Potato Stories<\/em> explores how the potato\u2014its migration, history, and cultural significance\u2014reflects questions of identity, memory, and colonial legacies. Rooted in the tension between personal and social identity, the project traces how the displacement of people and plants shapes collective narratives. Using the potato as a lens, it examines power, heritage, and imagination, connecting transatlantic histories and food cultures to rethink how societies understand themselves and other worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ana Nu\u00f1ez Rodriguez is a research-based photographer working between Spain and Colombia. Her work explores the politics of identity, colonial legacies, and human\u2013non-human relationships, adopting a multispecies perspective to challenge anthropocentric and extractivist dynamics.She has received awards including the Galega Documentary Photography Editorial Prize (2022) and participated in programs such as Lighthouse at Fotodok (2020\u201321) and Futures Photography (2022). Her work has been exhibited at FOAM (Amsterdam), Photo Ireland (Dublin), Athens Photo Festival, ARTBO (Bogot\u00e1), and others.

ALASTAIR PHILIP WIPER – Cold Comfort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wiper has published Building Stories<\/em> (2023), Unintended Beauty<\/em> (2020), and The Art of Impossible<\/em> (2015), and exhibited at RIBA (London) and MADD (Bordeaux).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cold Comfort<\/em> explores the absurd theatre of the atomic age: secret weapons labs, hospitals using isotopes to save lives, fallout shelters for politicians, the architecture of survival, fusion machines that look like spaceships, and a culture that turned annihilation into comic books, candy bars, and cocktails. It is a story of both destruction and salvation \u2014 and of the physical, psychological, and temporal displacements that follow in the atom\u2019s wake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
