Issue No. 22

Are you ready to step into the mischievous pages of Extra Extra issue 22, your bi-annual ticket to the realms of desire and exploration? 

With each turn of the page, this issue seduces us into a world of sensual delights and intellectual revelations, daring us to embrace the unknown and revel in the richness of human desire.

Some of what you’ll find inside: visual artist Viviane Sassen opens up a vibrant world where shadows dance and colours pulse, tempting us to lose ourselves in the maze of her images. Join us in the sensual choreography of Akram Khan, where, together with dramaturge Judith Vrancken, they delve into his vast sensorial practice, vertical versus horizontal time and the pleasure of drowning. Take a midnight ride with researcher Oguz Alyanak through the streets of Strasbourg, where Turkish men reveal the secrets of their nocturnal adventures or transport yourself into painter Sophie von Hellermann’s dreamlike imagery, which blurs the lines between reality and fantasy. In conversation with Frieze curator Fatos Ustek, wonderful film and installation artist Isaac Julien challenges our perceptions, urging us to question the very fabric of our understanding. In ‘News from Home’, poet Iduna Paalman beckons us into the lush green sanctuaries of Rotterdam’s allotment gardens, where nature’s allure meets urban and sensuality.

And much more!
