David Hockney Xerox prints
For a period of time, David Hockney created collages using Xerox machines.
In 1986 Hockney produced Home Made Prints,a series created entirely with the Xerox copier. As the title of the series would suggest, the Xerox machine allowed Hockney to create his prints in the comfort of his own home, rather than the often constrictive environment of the professional printing studio. Many of the prints in this series, like Living Room and Terrace, capture the interiors of Hockney’s house on the outskirts of LA. This invigorated focus on his own home in Home Made Prints reveals the more relaxed approach to printmaking that the Xerox copier afforded Hockney.

Chasing auras
Dennis Lehtonen has dedicated his life to photographing auras.
One night in 2018, I was viewing the international space station through a telescope in the observatory of Helsinki. Suddenly, I looked into the opposite direction and there, for the first time ever, I would see the northern lights dancing over the city below. The experience was otherworldly and I wanted to see them again and again.
To do so, for nearly five years, I have lived in the small remote corner of the Finnish Lapland, above the artic circle. Since 2021, I have lived in a total of three different locations in Finnish Lapland in order: Salla, Sodankylä and Kilpisjärvi. I have also worked in a total of seven different Greenland-based fish factories all in different, mostly small and remote, locations, despite hating fish.
