BMV Tapes

The front of an old, neglected building with a textured facade of yellow/beige brick on top and red brick on the bottom, separated by a green painted band. A large window on the left is partially covered by a black tarp and sheer curtains behind a wire mesh, with wooden planks below. A small, distressed green door with peeling paint is in the center. On the right, a multi-pane window has a broken pane with a circular hole, revealing a green pillow and a beige appliance inside. The ground is overgrown with sparse grass and dirt, and '104' is spray-painted in yellow on the top left wall.

104

A high-contrast black and white surreal portrait of a woman appearing to have six arms in various elegant gestures. She wears a dark, possibly strapless dress with a sheer black lace covering over her shoulders and part of her face. Her eyes are closed in a serene expression, while two pairs of arms are raised above her head and shoulders, and a third pair holds hands near her waist. A subtle circular light highlights the dark background behind her head.

Its Happening To Everybody

A striking profile portrait of a woman with her long, dark hair dramatically swept back and to the right by an unseen force. Her face, neck, and exposed arm are bathed in a distinct cool blue and cyan light, highlighting her features and pale complexion. She wears a black, sleeveless garment heavily embellished with countless small, shimmering silver sequins. Her left arm is raised, with two silver-toned bangles visible on her wrist, and her fingers appear to be running through her hair. The dark, graduated blue background emphasizes the ethereal and dynamic nature of the shot, with a focused, upward gaze.

Tinytype Town

An upward view of a wide, long staircase with dark concrete walls and bright silver handrails on both sides. The ceiling is structured in layers, featuring rows of rectangular bright white lights, followed by exposed structural beams, and topped by an arched canopy of translucent panels in shades of amber, yellow, and blue, giving the impression of a large, modern public space like a subway station.

Nathalie Smith

Tunnel

A high-contrast, grainy black and white split image. The left side depicts an indoor birthday celebration, showing a young woman with long, light hair presenting a small, round cake topped with several lit candles to an elderly woman with short, wavy hair, who is seated at a table and smiling broadly. A man with a beard stands behind the elderly woman, also smiling. In the background are shelves filled with various household items. The right side of the image is predominantly black, with a cluster of lit candles casting a soft glow from the bottom.

Grandma's Birthday

A desolate, snow-covered swing, its seat piled with fresh snow, is brightly illuminated by an unseen light source in the upper right. The scene is dark, with falling snow visible in the air, against a shadowy background of vertical wooden planks. Long, stark shadows from the swing and its ropes stretch across the textured, glittering snow-covered ground, creating a stark, monochromatic winter scene with a film grain aesthetic.

Rada Zinchuk

Night Light

A full-body outdoor portrait of a young Black woman with voluminous dark curly hair, seated cross-legged on a patterned blanket spread on vibrant green grass. She is wrapped in an off-the-shoulder orange, white, and blue geometric patterned blanket with fringes and wears a gold necklace, looking directly at the viewer. Behind her, tall trees with green and autumnal yellow foliage stand under a clear blue sky, with a white domed building visible on the far left. The image has a warm, natural light and visible film borders.

Surrender And Embrace

A grainy black and white studio photograph depicts a multi-layered scene of seven Black models. The prominent central figure, a woman with short dark hair, gazes directly forward, dressed in an avant-garde floor-length gown made of numerous dark, textured fabric strips that hang and fan out dramatically. Other models, partially transparent from a double exposure effect, stand around her: a man in a patterned sash, a woman with braided hair and beads, and another woman with a patterned headwrap. The composition includes subtle overlays of dark, bare branches and highlights the unique styling of each figure against a plain backdrop.

AFIA

A wide-angle landscape photograph featuring a colossal, snow-capped volcanic peak, its brilliant white glaciers contrasting with the reddish-brown and dark grey rock of its lower slopes. Below the peak, undulating dark green and brown hills stretch into the midground. The foreground is an expansive, sun-drenched plateau covered in dry, golden-brown and olive-green tussock grasses, scattered rocks, and patches of bare earth, all beneath a vibrant blue sky with a few wispy white clouds on the left.

Romina Cosentino

Chimborazo

A close-up portrait of a young Black woman with dark, textured hair, her head tilted back and eyes rolled upwards, showing the whites of her eyes. She wears small, twisted gold hoop earrings.

Enduring

A full, vertical shot of a multi-story, concrete apartment building with a heavily textured, light gray facade showing signs of wear and tear. The building is characterized by a repeating pattern of windows, each bordered by a vibrant turquoise-blue band and vertical yellow-beige slats. Many windows are fitted with metal security bars. Numerous air conditioning units protrude from various windows, and clothes in different colors and patterns are visibly hanging to dry from many balconies and window frames, indicating active daily life within the dense residential structure.
