Present Space 04, “Body”
Present Space introduces “BODY”, its fourth print issue, published and designed by AMILE. With creative direction from Present Space’s Juan Duque and Nima Habibzadeh, “BODY” is an exploration of the physical structure, both internally and externally. The issue investigates the many forms of the body; humans, animals, and nature through editorials and essays to further understand its complexities.
For print four, Present Space showcases thirty stories across art, design, photography and fashion. “BODY” celebrates the global reach of artists whose roots stem far beyond cities including Paris, Los Angeles, and London.
“BODY” showcases the work and ideas of today’s biggest talent, including Doja Cat by Daniel Shea and in conversation with Jack Harlow. Present Space also celebrates the model in fashion through a series of exclusive editorials shot in New York, including Irina Shayk by Davit Giorgadze, Imaan Hammam by Louise & Maria Thornfeldt and Paloma Elsesser for Tiffany & Co. by Brianna Capozzi. How the body is used by the fashion industry is discussed in conversation with model, author and activist Cameron Russell, shot by Diego Vourakis. Bastian Achard visits Fundació Joan Miró in Mallorca, designed by Josep Lluis Sert in the early 1950s, where much of the artist’s vast body of work remains to this day. For “BODY”, Present Space explores issues facing different communities around the world through a series of long-form articles including The Three Borders, on migration into the United States written by Luis Alvarez, with an accompanying photo essay by Manuel Bayo Gisbert, and Interconnected, written by Michele Fossi, examining the impact of the changing climate on different ecosystems, photographed by Emily Rosser.
