For the cover this time, Russian artist collective AES+F give us a fragment of Inverso Mundus, a multi-channel video installation that is based on medieval engravings, re-interpreted by the collective where ‘the absurdist scenes from the medieval carnival appear as episodes of contemporary life’. And so, children are in a kickboxing match with the elderly and they grace our cover to induce equal parts spectacle and triumph for how we look at the ‘audience’ today – who came and saw and conquered rst: the viewer or the maker?
