THE OPÉRA

ÆTHERUM—as if fueled by the divine energy of the ether, the current edition of The Opéra paves the way to the secret thoughts, desires, and dreams that lie dormant within every human body. In this kaleidoscope of sensuality, the nudes transcend the human body as a physical shell and tell stories of vulnerability and intimacy, but also of self-empowerment, strength, and beauty.

ÆTHERUM brings together work by established photographic artists and up-and-coming talents. Once again, the specific female perspective on the human body has been accorded just as much importance as a nuanced portrayal that couldn’t be further from common stereotypes.
