Autre Exclusively Premieres The Short Film "Small Tits Big Dreams" By Tea Hacic and Milan Based Art Duo No Text Azienda

SMALL TITS BIG DREAMS is a story about impostor syndrome. Itโ€™s about finding yourself in a new country, situation, job or curse you canโ€™t find your way out of. You donโ€™t know who you need to be so you violently push yourself to the limits in order to find out. Itโ€™s about dating an illiterate drug dealer only so heโ€™ll invite you to parties and then hating all of your clothes so much that you take them off once you get there. Itโ€™s about having a goal and doing whatever you must to reach it, even if โ€œwhatever you mustโ€ means stealing your best friendโ€™s wallet. Itโ€™s about Milan, a city that was sleeping until noon, spending all its money on shoes and falling into k-holes by midnight. But the city is changing โ€ฆ !

Read Tea Hacic's Ultimate Come Down Guide For Detoxing After Art Basel Miami →

Miami Art Basel is that magical time once a year, when the young and fabulous (and their sugar daddies) travel to paradise to see art and sleep with art dealers. Miami Art Basel is where editors brag about their fair trade hemp sandals while snorting cocaine that was brought into the country by a pregnant teenager. Miami Art Basel is where wet dreams come true and creative dreams are killed by two girls stabbing each other and therefore stealing attention from your performance art piece (dancing in leotards is a little 2008, tbh). Some people do look at art at Art Basel, because itโ€™s their job to and because itโ€™s raining too hard outside to say โ€œscrew it, Iโ€™ll get fired for the sake of a tan.โ€ But for those of us who donโ€™t know the difference between digital collages and foam sculptures, the week of Miami Art Basel was an excuse to go Hard As Hell (or HAH!) before the holy holidays. For those of us #blessed enough to be there, half the fun was making our Instagram followers who arenโ€™t #blessed jealous of our poolside lounging. But the fun doesnโ€™t have to end! The only thing your followers will hate more than seeing you enjoying Miami is seeing you bounce back afterwards. Click here to read the full detox guide.
