ISSUE #47 – SUMMER 2025: GABBRIETTE BY STEVEN KLEIN

Welcome to the age of techno-feudalism, where democracy is optional. In 032c #47’s dossier “Techno-Feudalism: I’m Sorry, But You Do Not Have Enough Coins for Democracy,” designed by the legendary DAVID CARSON, we excavate the prehistory of the current operating system with Cédric Durand and look into the future with Jens Hillebrand Pohl. Edited by Shane Anderson, the dossier also includes Günseli Yalcinkaya’s exploration of the tech world’s obsession with knights in shining armor.

It seems like (terrestrial) horror is everywhere. Posterboy 2HOLLIS, shot by Brandon Bowen and styled by David Friend, tells Cassidy George that only The Star tarot card survived his childhood home burning down. And GABBRIETTE stars in a fictional STEVEN KLEIN production full of blood, guns, and men, that was styled by Ras Bartram and Bailey Rose Quinones. The unholy trinity of drones, destruction, and war are explored in three features on artists: WOLFGANG TILLMANS and BORIS MIKHAILOV by Shane Anderson; HITO STEYERL by Tobias Timm, and CYPRIEN GAILLARD by Gabriel Proedl.

What’s the relationship between art and business? Harriet Shepherd dives into the cult of A24 while LORENZO BERTELLI tells Michael Ebert and Sven Michaelsen that it’s hard to be a rebel when your mother is MIUCCIA PRADA, a revolutionary. Elsewhere, Thyago Sainte, Claire Koron Elat, and Natacha Voranger follow CARO DAUR, who is likened to the experimental poet Bernadette Mayer, into a locker room shower.

Plus the X-Files introduce the stars of the 032c universe, including HILTON ALS and NEVILLE WAKEFIELD on the iconic HELMUT LANG, wisdom hunter THAIBOY DIGITAL, screen hunters NICOLAS WINDING REFN and HIDEO KOJIMA, haunted duo SEMATARY and GHOST MOUNTAIN, dream caster BEN GRIMES, carcel archivist POURIA KHOJASTEHPAY, eternal outsiders of R. CRUMB, ERIC KROLL, and COME TEES, Slavic mythologizers IC3PEAK, vibe checker FEDERICO SARGENTONE, and fashion philosopher EMANUELE COCCIA. As always, the BERLIN REVIEW rounds out the issue with our favorite books of the season.
