We invite you to the opening of “Más que cultura material.” An evolving research and exhibition project by CLOSNEA under the lead of @redbootequal and in collaboration with @hongsuejin , developed through field research conducted in Colombia. Through installation, video, photography, emeralds, and traditional textiles from the region, the exhibition explores cultural identity, craftsmanship, and lived realities shaped by labour, trade, and material conditions. Rather than presenting fixed conclusions, the project functions as an open spatial framework through which these narratives can be experienced and interpreted. Vernissage
30.5.2026 — from 1 PM Exhibition
30.5 — 28.6.2026 Kunstraum Gaswerkareal Schaffhausen
Rheinhaldenstrasse 17 Flyer by @gianenzo__ Special thanks to @thoma.ja.n Made possible with the support of FAK & Windler Stiftung.

VERTIGO Hair architecture rising into the sky. Sculptural. Vertical. Almost like antennas catching something unseen. Reflections of glass towers. Cloudbursts exploding into soft volume. Aurora strands flowing — weightless, liquid, untouchable. Somewhere between chaos and control. Microscopic disorder that resolves into precision. Like nature — wild at first glance, perfect on a second look. creative direction @shyandflo creative team: @dddenfer @tim_zs @anna_abrahamson_ @hair_.by_.leonie photo @oliver_rust_ makeup @christianolivier__ christianoliver styling @redbootequal @shrinzki @gr8lina #Vertigo #HairCollection #EditorialHair #AvantGardeHair

HIVER 2025 - Documentation Folder [3/3] Inspired by the cubist origins of the camouflage pattern, I used various techniques to transfer photographs of the Swiss Alps onto textiles. The technical abstraction creates patterns that reinterpret camouflage as a contemporary visual language.

We walk like we own the world and we mean it..

Elevate your perspective with VERTIGO A bold hair collection inspired by height, architecture, and movement-featuring sculptural cuts, airy textures, and striking color contrasts. Towering shapes meet soft flow, structured lines meet natural movement, and cool blondes, violets, and vibrant magenta accents bring each look to life.

Substanzen LSD, psychedelische Pilze oder andere bewusstseinserweiternde Mittel werden nicht länger nur in Subkulturen konsumiert, sondern sind Teil einer kommerzialisierten «Wellness-Economy». Gegenwärtige Entwicklungen wie die «psychedelische Renaissance» und die zunehmende Normalisierung des Konsums von Substanzen in privaten Settings zeigen: Wie wir Substanzen verhandeln, nutzen und erleben, verändert sich derzeit massiv. Mit diesem Wandel beschäftigten sich die Studierenden des Masters Trends & Identity in Beiträgen für swissfuture – Magazin für Zukünfte. Sie zeigen Substanzen im Kontext von Gender, explorieren Konsumästhetiken, beobachten Rituale und Nutzungskontexte und lassen Expert:innen zu Wort kommen, um mehr über die Rolle von Substanzen in Medizin, Therapie und Trendforschung zu erfahren.

My Bachelor work HIVER 2025 is now on display at ZHdK (5. K10) until the 20th of June. Inspired by the cubist origins of the camouflage pattern, I used various techniques to transfer photographs of the Swiss Alps onto textiles. The technical abstraction creates patterns that reinterpret camouflage as a contemporary visual language.

recap of the creatives mixer dinner ❤️ Had an amazing evening, thank you! #swisscreatives #switzerland

a series i did few months ago with @redbootequal 🎞️

a glimpse of 2024 I’ve had the privilege of executing over 100 photoshoots and video projects. Here are just a few highlights, as I could only fit 10 photos in my carousel. From musicians to fashion brands, I’ve worked with an incredible variety of talents. A huge thank you to everyone for these amazing projects and for your support on my journey. Here’s to a successful 2025 ahead! Much love!
