After taking an elixir created in his laboratory, mild mannered Dr Jekyll is transformed into the cruel and despicable Mr Hyde. Although seemingly harmless at first, things soon descend into chaos and Jekyll quickly realises there is only one way to stop Hyde. Stevenson's quintessential novella of the Victorian era epitomizes the conflict between psychology, science and religious morality, but is fundamentally a triumphant study of the duality of human nature.

В российскую историю император Александр III (1845—1894) вошёл с самым, пожалуй, лестным для монарха прозвищем — «Царь-миротворец»: за все годы его царствования (1881—1894) Россия не вела войн. Настоящий русский богатырь, он сумел внушить уважение и к себе, и к своей державе всем — и собственным подданным, и соседям, и правителям других государств. Приняв страну в тяжелейшем нравственном, экономическом и политическом состоянии, он передал её наследнику полностью успокоенной и входящей в период...

While undertaking this photographic investigation of North Korea, French photographer Stephan Gladieu (born 1969) found himself under constant surveillance everywhere he went. Because of these constraints, he managed to invent an ingenious space of freedom. Gladieu created mirror-portraits of people he encountered and was hosted by, often full length, which require a face-on pose and a direct gaze. In this way, he managed to create a form similar to North Korea’s propaganda imagery, which made...

Не столь давно концептуализм научил своих адептов воспринимать материальный объект, представленный в выставочном пространстве, только лишь в качестве проводника для обнаружения настоящего произведения искусства — нематериального и невидимого. Сегодня кажется даже немного наивным искать содержание в самом изображении, а не за его пределами.

A close look at the work, relationship, and shared influences of two masterful 20th-century artists. “The camera,” said Orson Welles, “is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.” It was the camera and the circumstances of the Second World War that first brought together Henry Moore (1898–1986) and Bill Brandt (1904–1983). During the Blitz, both artists produced images depicting civilians sheltering in the London Underground. These “shelter pictures” were circulated to...
