The beauty of human beginnings is recreated here in this film by artist Yana Toyber. The video itself acts as part of a project titled ‘Double Visions’, which focuses on the world of identical twins Eva and Mia Fahler, Toyber explains, “I have been conducting my visual experiments of Eva and Mia Fahler in several creative mediums, including video and photographic styles. As of now there are two series within one, much like the twins themselves, the works core has been split in two – consisting of a group of work called Mirrors and a group of work called Embryos.”
The WOMB video is a part of the Embryo series, delicately portraying the unique bond between Eva and Mia, a bond that is so foreign to those of us without a twin. It aims to go beyond what we see of their outside lives and instead highlights a deeper connection. Within the compelling WOMB video both women are submerged in water, reliving their early inception, as they re-enact basic infant behaviour while they try to survive, as they did at birth.
There is something quite mysterious about the womb, it is an imperative part of our lives and yet the lack of memory of something so essential to us as humans, means this part of our growth takes on a surreal aspect. A dreamlike quality which is perfectly showcased here in WOMB.
WOMB first premiered at Art Basel Miami 2012, with the first photograph from the Embryos series “Birth” being sold to the famous economist, Nouriel Roubini.
The full exhibition of Double Visions will be held in New York at one point this year, for more information please visit: www.yanatoyber.com

“I look at my path and I think that I belong to it more than it belongs to me.”
Every path taken is, in truth, several paths at once: what was, what never happened, and what only existed in our imagination. “Caminito” explores the endless process, where time stretches and each step pushes us forward. With Juanjo Almeida as the protagonist, it moves from the intimate to the universal.

“Black Hole” redefines emptiness not as an absence, but as a threshold of possibilities where what remains hidden holds as much weight as what is revealed. The film, directed by Spanish photographer and filmmaker Federico Reparaz, explores interstitial spaces that oscillate between the beautiful and the unsettling, the evident and the concealed. Spaces that are structured through the paradoxes of the fleeting and the suspended. The project also investigates the notion of emptiness not merely as an absence, but as a realm of possibility where what is left unseen is just as significant as what is revealed.
Shot entirely on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, this choice of medium was driven by its ability to deliver a precise and detailed visual aesthetic while simultaneously allowing for an ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere. The film follows model and writer Aine O’Leary as she recites the opening lines of a National Geographic documentary on black holes, moving through different locations in a wintery Normandy — a forest, the river’s edge, the ruins of an abandoned house. The tension arising from her presence within these liminal landscapes, between what is spoken and what remains unsaid, between beauty and eeriness, immerses the viewer in a state of uncertainty, making them an active participant in the visual narrative’s resolution. Shot alongside Erea Azurmendi and edited by Manu Azurmendi, the creative team also includes stylist Giorgia Ferrari and makeup artist and hairstylist Aniela Fik.
