JIM JARMUSCH FOR AUTRE DESIRE Autre is thrilled to present its SS25 DESIRE Issue (preorder in bio), a lush, incandescent descent into the undercurrents of longing, transformation, and creative rebellion. Featuring a special digital cover with filmmaker @jim.jarmusch in conversation with novelist @constancdebre , photographed by @patmartin__ Jim Jarmusch is a seminal figure in contemporary cinema, a filmmaker whose body of work has both defined and subverted the contours of American independent film. While he is most known for his cinematic output, Jarmusch is also a poet, musician, and an artist. Over several decades he has amassed a body of over 500 collages ripped by hand from the pages of newspapers, a selection of which are on view for the first time in Los Angeles at James Fuentes gallery. Jarmusch joins his friend Constance Debré—a former criminal lawyer, now an incendiary novelist known for her stark explorations of identity, sexuality, and rupture—to discuss desire as a counter proposition and creative motor.

HELMUT LANG FOR AUTRE DESIRE Autre is thrilled to present its SS25 DESIRE Issue (preorder in bio), a lush, incandescent descent into the undercurrents of longing, transformation, and creative rebellion. Featuring a special digital cover with Helmut Lang interviewed by curator @nevillewakefield on the occasion of his exhibition on view now at @makcenter in Los Angeles. Helmut Lang’s eponymous label forged a minimalist, brutalist aesthetic that confronted sexuality with stark, unflinching radicalism. His recent sculptures—cast from once-pliant materials like rubber, foam, and wax—press into form the weight of psychic residue. They do not depict history; they embody it. Desire emerges as a restless choreography with the past, haunted by the spectral presence of The Schindler House and its architect, fellow Austrian émigré Rudolph Schindler.

Featuring a special digital cover with painter @talilennox , interviewed by @betonyvernon , and photographed by @jesperdlund in Paris. Tali Lennox’s works are rife with a rare erotic power that is both gothic and cadaverous. Desire becomes a tenuous dance between the oneiric and the folkloric; a passion play of spiritual autopsy and resurrection. Alongside jewelry designer and sexologist Betony Vernon, Lennox dismantles the psychic fractures embedded in her paintings. Preorder the issue now by clicking the 🔗 in bio.

ISABELLE ALBUQUERQUE’S ZONE OF DESIRE Autre is thrilled to present its SS25 DESIRE Issue (preorder in bio), a lush, incandescent descent into the undercurrents of longing, transformation, and creative rebellion. Featuring a special digital cover with Isabelle Albuquerque, photographed by @jack.bool at the @roberttherrienestate with works in dialogue with the late artist. Plus an intimate interview with her partner @jon__ray . In a fascinating closing essay by Patrick R. Crowley (@marbleindex ), he explores Isabelle Albuquerque’s sculptural work as a sensual, feminist response to historical ideas about desire, identity, and form. Drawing from ancient theories of vision and gendered imagination, Albuquerque’s sculptures—especially her Orgy for Ten People in One Body series—disrupt traditional figurative norms through materials like wax, rubber, and hair. Her recent collaboration with Robert Therrien deepens this inquiry into desire as a generative, shape-shifting force, using scale, reflection, and erotic selfhood to challenge fixed identities and celebrate metamorphosis.

PAUL MCCARTHY, EATON FIRE, 2025 Autre is thrilled to present its SS25 DESIRE Issue (preorder in bio), a lush, incandescent descent into the undercurrents of longing, transformation, and creative rebellion. Paul McCarthy’s Santa with Butt Plug Bronze 11.4 inches pulled from the rubble of the 2025 Eaton Fire. From a powerful photographic document of relics salvaged from the ashes of some of the most devastating wildfires in California’s history. From an essay by Autre’s editor Oliver Kupper: “The fires didn’t just destroy. It exposed. Our cities built on buried sunlight. Our futures devoured by our appetites. This isn’t just climate collapse—it’s a mirror held to our hunger. Desire isn’t the spark. It’s the blaze. Queer, unruly, transformative. We don’t need less fire—we need better fire. Slower. Wilder. Honest. The Pyrocene is here. The question isn’t how to stop it. It’s how to carry it forward.” These charred remnants, pulled from the wreckage of homes, studios, and lifetimes, are more than evidence of loss—they are monuments to resilience. Among those affected: Cleon Peterson, Jon Pylypchuk, and McCarthy himself, whose family compound in Altadena was reduced to rubble. And @litaalbuquerque from the Woolsey Fire. What survives, endures. What burns, speaks. Preorder the issue now by clicking the 🔗 in bio.

For the past decade, she has collaborated with Soundwalk Collective, an experimental sound group she met by chance on a plane. Their work, recently showcased in CORRESPONDENCES at Kurimanzutto New York, turns recordings from charged sites—like Chornobyl and Pasolini’s death place—into immersive soundscapes layered with Smith’s voice and reflections.

VAGINAL DAVIS, AN 𝕆ℝ𝔸𝕃 HERSTORY Autre is thrilled to present its SS25 DESIRE Issue (preorder in bio), a lush, incandescent descent into the undercurrents of longing, transformation, and creative rebellion. Saint of subversion, high priestess of punk, mother of mythic mischief—Vaginal Davis interview by @brucelabruce and photographs by Matt Lambert in three theatrical acts.

On the 20th anniversary of her migration from Los Angeles to Berlin, Gropius Bau unveils Vaginal Davis: Fabelhaftes Produkt—the artist’s first solo museum retrospective in Germany. In an expansive and provocative conversation, Davis guides avant-queer filmmaker Bruce LaBruce through an unfiltered oral herstory of the queer underground, charting the subversive currents that have shaped both their work and the wider cultural landscape.

Just announced Barry Jenkins teams up with @a24 for “Be My Baby” on the life of Ronnie Spector to star @zendaya . In 2017, @mrpharmacist72 interviewed Ronnie for the pages of AUTRE. They talked about EVERYTHING, including their iconic hairdos: “We were healthy and had all this thick hair, we didn’t know what to do with it. I love Bridget Bardot, so I would try to put it up and tease it. Some things were you wanted to look like certain people, at least I did. All three of the Ronettes, whatever I would do they would do. It’s like the Cleopatra eyes. Everybody went nuts when we started wearing the eyeliner. We slowly got into our own groove.” #zendaya #ronniespector #bemybaby #a24

We are very saddened and shocked to learn of the passing of @laeyeworks founder and designer Gai Gherardi. She was a transformative creative force among the sprawling fabric of Los Angeles, but her influence spanned the world. She was an unwavering champion of LA artists and queer rights. Her office was an incubator—not only of eyewear, but also turtle eggs, proving her love for the more than human world. Her bright simile and enthusiasm for life made everyone feel loved and welcome. Her bold and playful designs made her eyewear instantly recognizable without the need for a forward facing logo. Her frames were worn by the impaired who wanted to be seen with crystal clear vision. She and l.a.Eyeworks have been major supporters since issue one. We wouldn’t exist without Gai’s support and influence. Their legendary ad campaigns, many of which were featured in interview magazine and later Autre, featured burgeoning icons like Peewee Herman, Sharon Stone, Andy Warhol, and more. For the 40th anniversary of LAEyeworks we devoted 40 pages to exploring the history of this seminal brand. In a conversation with @greggormanphoto , who photographed most of their most iconic ad campaigns, Gherardi told us, “We were seeing this huge array of faces. And, you know, it was goodbye ‘70s! And off came the hair, and out came the face. All kinds of things were happening.” She also told us that the campaign, which later focused on LA artists with an inventive sense of worldbuilding, wasn’t about celebrity, but “interrogating celebrity.” Everything was an intellectual exercise in rebellion and resistance. She will be deeply missed. #laeyeworks #gaigherardi
