Ariana Papademetropoulos and Nicolas Godin of @airfrenchband for AUTRE SS26 “Surveillance” Nicolas Godin, one-half of the French duo Air, created a soundtrack for a strange new millennium. @arianapapademetropoulos is an American artist whose first solo exhibition in France, Glass Slipper at @thaddaeusropac , features dreamlike, reality-defying paintings. The show centers on Water Based Treatment, an experiential aquarium sculpture featuring a shoal of kissing fish and a score by Godin, inspired by 1970s ambient sound therapy tapes. Together, they discuss the liminal spaces their work inhabits. Photographs by @rob.tennent #air #sexyboy #arianapapademetropoulos #nicolasgodin

GUS VAN SANT INTERVIEW BY HANS ULRICH OBRIST for AUTRE Surveillance. Available to preorder now (link in bio). Gus Van Sant’s films are subtle, poetic studies of rupture—elegies for the marginalized, fissures in the mythology of the American Dream, and quiet reflections of the inequities that shape it. Now, a first monograph from Blue Moon Press brings his expansive, lesser-seen painting practice into focus, revealing a parallel language running alongside the films. His latest feature, Dead Man’s Wire, turns to a true 1970s hostage story, extending his long-standing interest in the strange, fragile edges of American life. Autre’s SS26 “Surveillance” Issue is an urgent dossier on our age of hyper-surveillance and traces how we arrived at this disorienting era of total capture.

AN ODE TO KARLHEINZ WEINBERGER. CHLOE CHIPPENDALE FOR AUTRE’S SS26 “SURVEILLANCE” ISSUE Before social media, youth culture was localized, radical, and full of anxious abandon. Free from the burden of the public gaze, which now shapes behavior and censors expression, young people could experiment with identity, fashion, and style without being consumed by algorithmic monoculture. In 1958, Swiss photographer Karlheinz Weinberger (1921-2006) turned his lens to the Halbstarken, meaning “half- strong,” a rising anti-authoritarian teenage subculture that rode motorcycles and tore up concert halls in postwar Zurich.

LIL YACHTY FOR AUTRE’S SS26 “SURVEILLANCE” ISSUE. Available for preorder now (link in bio). Autre’s SS26 “Surveillance” Issue is an urgent dossier on our age of hyper-surveillance and traces how we arrived at this disorienting era of total capture. Lil Yachty—born Miles Parks McCollum in Atlanta, Georgia—crashed onto the scene a decade ago with bubblegum trap melodies and a renegade spirit, rewriting rap’s rules through playful chaos, genre-bending sound, and a cold refusal to fit any archetype. His albums have gone multi-platinum, with songs streamed in the billions. Paris-based artist and curator Christelle Oyiri, known for her sharp, culture-warping lens as @crystallmess, sits down with Yachty to discuss image and influence in a hypervisible age.

KIM PETRAS FOR AUTRE’S SS26 “SURVEILLANCE” ISSUE. Inspired by Lynn Hershman Leeson’s performance avatar, Roberta Breitmore, we explore the role of building avatars. An important 21st-century skill essential when you transition under the microscope of the public eye. Grammy Award-winning German singer-songwriter and pop provocateur Kim Petras wields a virtuosic ability to craft psycho-pop playgrounds populated by meticulously constructed cyborgian female identities—from the iconic blonde bombshell to the horror heroine. Her new album, Detour, functions as both a chameleonic mixtape and a bold testament to her unparalleled skill in both persona-building and destruction.
