The Hilti Art Foundation, one of Europe's foremost private collections, is based in the Principality
of Liechtenstein. Given free rein to select paintings and sculptures from their collection, Thomas
Struth has combined them with his own works for a unique exhibition project. Struth's
photographs enter into a fascinating dialogue with works by Lehmbruck, Picasso, Klee, Leger,
Mondrian, Giacometti, Wols, Klapheck, and Richter. This innovative concept reveals analogies in
terms of both content and form. With texts by Uwe Wieczorek and Michael Hilti.

The magazine's sixth issue, the first ever spring/summer edition, addresses a number of
questions. What does the relationship between an artist and their muse look like? How can an
artist use their craft and curiosity to reflect on broader social issues? What kind of legacy do they
leave behind? All this and more is explored through fourteen features, including a day in the
studio with outspoken Iranian-American artist Sheda Soleimani, a tribute to photographer
Jacqueline Hassink, Tanya Habjouqa's take on Jerusalem as a divided city, the portrayal of
religious practices in photography, impressions of Singapore by Carlos Alba, Zoe Corbyn's
speculation on mining asteroids, and more.

Spanish photographer Mar Saez has made a visual portrait of gender transition over six years.
The photographs of Gabriel's physical transformation are surrounded by the landscapes that
witnessed his revelation and changes, and are accompanied by phrases taken from his diaries
and interviews, which help to understand the evolution of his feelings. The photobook also
includes images of his childhood, when he was known as Isabel, and includes selfies that he
shared in his social networks from 2012 to 2018, the key years of his journey. Saez combines her
work as a freelance photographer with personal projects in which she explores the complexity of
identity and biopolitics.

From careful brushes to jealous scribbles, the stylistic range of how figures are censored is quite
diverse. But the defacements here seem more concerned with the censor's own feelings rather
than enhancing the overall aesthetic. In these images it is easy to deduce that the censored
figures are women - snippets of purses or high heels, the blobs' lingering feminine form. The
censor's hand lends them an eerie quality, whether by accident or not. Yet the pictures are also
very romantic. A woman loves her man so much, she wishes to never see him with anyone else
but her. Rather than destroying or discarding the pictures entirely, her markings let everyone
know, "He's mine".
