This flip book is an intimate extension of the project White Noise, combining photography with anonymous responses to the question, “What does intimacy mean to you?” Each page brings together image and voice, creating a quiet dialogue between personal reflection and visual experience. When flicked through, the photographs come to life through the movement of the dancers, subtly revealing the narrative of the wider project. This sense of motion contrasts with the stillness of the written words, echoing the tension between physical closeness and emotional distance. Through these layered elements, the flip book offers a space to reflect on the many ways intimacy is felt, understood, and shared. For me, art is one of the most beautiful forms of communication that humans possess. It allows us to express emotions that are often difficult to articulate in words, creating a shared language of feeling and experience. Through this project, I hope viewers can see fragments of their own stories within the work, and resonate with the complexities of connection that shape our lives.

From scavenging gas canisters on Manchester’s backstreets to seeing their creations light up Eurovision, Drag Race, and world stages with icons like SZA and Doja Cat, Mariusz Malon is a designer who turns grit into glamour. Rooted in resilience and sharpened by queer nightlife, their work fuses storytelling, survival, and spectacle, proving that fashion isn’t just worn, it’s lived.

White Noise Waking up the wrong version of myself, Someone else’s hands on my skin, Someone else’s breath in the dark. and I’m trying to remember, which one of them is supposed to make me feel less alone. I keep telling myself that touch is enough. That if I let enough hands hold me at once, one of them might reach the part of me I keep hidden under the ribs, behind the noise, the white noise the soft violence of a heart that doesn’t know who to give itself to. I feel you next to me but when I reach for you, I lose you in the noise I lose you in the white noise Director & Writer: @jess.barks Production: @outset.mag Videographer: @harryrighthere Music Production: @oiwudini Dancers: @reubenwilliamson @miarosegibson @jonahguy @paschajjacobs Make up: @chloetebbuttmakeup Styling: @pashandlex Voiceover: @celestine.finni Assistant: @kyranbates
