"In collaboration with Milan-based artist Arisha, this editorial explores the contrast between spiritual depth and urban surface. The series presents cleaner, dreamlike visuals that resist melancholy while reaching toward a heightened sense of presence, creating tension between sacred motifs and the everyday surroundings of Milan. The cinematic postproduction process included 3D sculpture creation and particle simulations in TouchDesigner and After Effects, with carefully crafted transitions using distortion and glitch techniques."
"OFPA: Back in Modernist times, you either identified as a painter, a sculptor, a musician, a photographer, or maybe a filmmaker. The medium was chosen first. An artist's identity was typically based on the medium in which they worked. The message of an artwork, what to paint, what to capture, what melody to write, that was the main decision to be made. If the chosen message would be conveyed more effectively by another medium, it was a question rarely asked by the artist."
Postmodernaffairs combines fashion, art, design, and technology to create memorable, concept-driven communication that bridges mass, pop, sub, high, and net cultures. The studio collaborated with Milan-based artist Arisha to contrast spiritual depth with urban surfaces through cleaner, dreamlike visuals that resist melancholy and emphasize heightened presence. The work creates tension between sacred motifs and everyday Milanese surroundings. Cinematic postproduction incorporated 3D sculpture creation, particle simulations in TouchDesigner and After Effects, and distortion and glitch transitions. 3D face tracking animated symbols beneath the skin, integrating realism and surreal narrative elements into a layered visual language. The approach reflects a postmodern shift toward medium-aware, interdisciplinary practice.
