Chinese-born graduate Wang meandered

through the landscapes of northwest

China for her series Penetrate. Her images

are subtly folkloric, recording both the

industrial forms rising among the landscape,

and the characters that move quietly among

them. Would most like to work with:

Talented people. [email protected]

Parodically inspired by William Evans-

Gordon’s 1903 book The Alien Immigrant,

Battipaglia’s Aliens project reflects on

UK immigration policies. His tender portraits,

set in computer-generated landscapes, ‘force

the viewer to rethink issues of border and

community’. Would most like to work with:

Wolfgang Tillmans. emidiobattipaglia.com

Probing the vicissitudes of desire and

sensual experience as both ‘personal feeling

and advertising method’, Stieb combines

colour-saturated candid moments from

fashion shoots with studio-constructed

still-lives. ‘Movement is always a part of my

work,’ she says. Would most like to have

worked with: Irving Penn. aysiastieb.com

Echoing the classic American road trip,

Stockburger set off on a journey across

Japan, documenting the influence of

the US on postwar Japan. The resulting

project, ΞϦΧ, sublimely
details the cross-

cultural intersections of signs, symbols and

history. Would most like to work with:

Alec Soth, Paul Graham. mxrnst.com

Hannula delved into her family photograph

albums for her project The Choreography of

Uncertainty. Inspired by Sigmund Freud’s

concept of the uncanny, her monochromatic

digital collages and diptychs probe the

dichotomy of ‘familiar and unfamiliar’ that

an image can possess. Would most like to

work with: David Lynch. eeva-hannula.com

In his series The Celebrated Remedy for

the Cure of Disorder, Bocken mines the

visual languages of natural science and

technology, mixing hyperreal 3D rendered

images with documentary photographs

to present his own, alternative ‘reality’.

Would most like to work with: The hopes

and dreams of us all. jeroenbocken.com
