In this issue, the focus is on Photography and how the photographer can reveal unseen perspectives. In a world saturated with images and stories, we sought work that shifts the angle—literally or metaphorically with images that challenge the viewer to look again, to question what they think they know, or to see something that usually goes unnoticed.
This issue asks:
What becomes visible when we change our vantage point? What truths or fictions emerge from the margins, the shadows, the overlooked, or the unspoken?

Water under a bridge 3 is a short film that explores the idea of invisible images in landscape which the British painter Paul Nash wrote about in a Country Life magazine article in May 1938: "The landscapes I have in mind are not part of the unseen world in the psychic sense, nor are they part of the Unconscious. They belong to the world that lies, visibly, about us. They are unseen merely because they are not perceived; only in that way can they be regarded as invisible." My particular use of film enables me to show 'unseen' images in a landscape simultaneously with an image of that landscape.
Artist: Rachel Letchford
Description
”In A Sprat to Catch a Mackerel” Letchford plays with visual bait—fragments, hints, and surface gestures that invite the viewer closer. The work reflects on how photographs conceal as much as they reveal, offering minor truths as lures toward larger, hidden ones.
