Angelika Corral‘s new exhibition at the Venus by Water Art Gallery is a visceral and poetic exploration of contemporary femininity. Through a series of extraordinarily intimate black-and-white photographs, Corral presents the female body as a landscape of vulnerability and strength, fragility and resilience.
Corral’s images are characterized by a masterful use of light and shadow. Bodies emerge from darkness, illuminated in a way that accentuates curves, textures, and gestures. This technique not only creates visually stunning compositions but also serves as a metaphor for self-revelation and female empowerment.
Particularly notable is the variety of perspectives offered by Corral. Some works present abstract close-ups that transform the body into a landscape of sinuous forms. Others offer more traditional portraits, capturing moments of introspection or ecstasy. In all these images, there is a palpable tension between exposure and intimacy, between what is revealed and what remains hidden.
Movement is another key element of the exhibition. Several images capture hair in motion, creating fluid lines that contrast with the solidity of the bodies. This dynamism infuses energy into the compositions and suggests a femininity in constant evolution, never static or easily definable.
The inclusion of a poetic text at the center of the exhibition adds another dimension to the work. This “letter to the woman” serves as a manifesto, celebrating the complexity of the female experience. The evocative language of the text resonates with the surrounding images, creating a dialogue between word and image that enriches the overall experience.
What emerges is a multifaceted portrait of contemporary femininity. Corral rejects simplistic or objectifying representations of the female body, opting instead for an approach that honors complexity, contradiction, and inner strength.
Curator Cecilia Nansen has expertly orchestrated the exhibition space, creating a pathway that guides the viewer through different facets of Corral’s exploration. The arrangement of the works creates visual and thematic rhythms that amplify the emotional impact of the exhibition.
In an era when representations of the female body are often a source of controversy and debate, Corral’s work offers a refreshing and powerful perspective. Hers is a celebration of women that does not shy away from vulnerability or strength, embracing complexity and finding beauty in contradictions.
This exhibition solidifies Corral’s reputation as an important voice in contemporary photography and the broader discussion of female identity. It is a visual and emotional experience that will resonate with many and challenge others, but surely will leave no one indifferent.
The Nitroglobus Roof Art Gallery, curated by Dido Haas, presents a captivating new exhibition by artist MiuMira, exploring themes of connection, storytelling, and the ephemeral nature of human experience.
MiuMira’s work is deeply influenced by Margaret Atwood‘s quote, “In the end, we all become stories.” This philosophy permeates the exhibition, with each image acting as a chapter in a larger narrative of human connection and self-discovery.
The exhibition space is thoughtfully designed, with large-scale monochromatic images displayed against dark walls, creating a striking visual contrast. This presentation style enhances the dreamlike quality of MiuMira’s photographs, allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully in each piece.
A standout element of the exhibition is MiuMira’s masterful use of light and shadow. In one image, we see a figure holding a fan-like parasol, their face obscured but their presence commanding. Another striking piece shows a close-up of a face partially veiled, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue.
The artist’s attention to detail is evident throughout. Delicate elements like floating dandelion seeds and subtle text incorporated into the imagery add layers of meaning to each piece. These details invite viewers to look closer, encouraging a deeper engagement with the work.
MiuMira’s artistic vision extends beyond traditional photography. The exhibition includes images that blur the line between photography and digital art, creating surreal and evocative scenes. This approach adds a contemporary edge to the show, demonstrating the artist’s versatility and willingness to push boundaries.
The curation of the exhibition enhances its impact. The strategic placement of images creates a visual narrative that guides viewers through the space. Interspersed among the large-scale works are smaller, more intimate pieces, providing moments of pause and reflection.
What sets this exhibition apart is its ability to evoke emotion and spark introspection. MiuMira’s work invites viewers to consider their own stories and connections, both internal and external. The artist states, “The greatest connection is between our own mind, heart, and emotions—the way we see and feel things, and how we translate them afterward in our unique way.” This sentiment is palpable in every image.
“Connections” at the Nitroglobus Roof Art Gallery is a testament to MiuMira’s talent and vision. It offers a deeply personal yet universally resonant exploration of human experience, inviting viewers to connect with the art and, by extension, with themselves. This exhibition is a must-see for anyone interested in contemporary photography and digital art that pushes the boundaries of storytelling and emotional expression.

I’m absolutely thrilled to tell you about my latest discovery in Second Life – a place called After Taste that’s quickly become my favorite virtual hangout! From the moment I first stepped into this club, I was blown away by its sheer elegance and vintage charm. It’s like being transported back to the golden age of nightclubs, but with a modern twist that keeps things fresh and exciting.
The attention to detail in the decor is seriously impressive. Whoever designed this place has an incredible eye – every corner feels meticulously curated, from the lighting to the furniture. It manages to be both cozy and glamorous at the same time, which is no easy feat. I find myself constantly noticing new little touches each time I visit.
But of course, the real star of the show at After Taste is the music. Oh my god, the DJs at After Taste are absolutely fantastic! While I’ve enjoyed many great virtual clubs, the music here really stands out to me. They offer live streams from incredibly talented DJs who have a knack for reading the crowd and maintaining an energetic atmosphere. As someone who’s quite particular about music, I’m consistently impressed by the diverse range they cover. One night I find myself lost in the rhythms of deep house, and the next I’m belting out lyrics to classic hits. The variety is refreshing, and I always look forward to what they’ll play next. It’s this unpredictability that keeps me coming back for more!
And just when I thought After Taste couldn’t get any better, they went and added this amazing monthly shopping event! It kicks off on the 6th of each month, and let me tell you, it’s become a highlight of my Second Life calendar. The selection of items is just *chef’s kiss* – we’re talking high-end fashion, stunning home decor, and some truly unique pieces you won’t find anywhere else.
Now, I should mention that the theme is decidedly adult-oriented. It’s tastefully done, but definitely not for the faint of heart. Personally, I love that they’re not afraid to cater to a more mature audience. It adds an extra layer of sophistication and just a hint of naughtiness that makes the whole experience feel a bit more exciting.
What I love most about the shopping event, though, is the social aspect. It’s become this fantastic meeting place where I’ve connected with so many interesting people. We bond over our latest finds, share styling tips, and often end up hitting the dance floor together afterward. It’s just such a vibrant, welcoming community.
I honestly can’t recommend After Taste enough. Whether you’re looking for amazing music, unique shopping experiences, or just a classy place to hang out with friends, this place has it all. It’s more than just a club – it’s become a second home in Second Life for me and many others. If you haven’t checked it out yet, what are you waiting for? Trust me, you won’t regret it!
