The new work captures the human body through frantic, chaotic, isolated, fragmented, strong and fragile sensibilities. The exhibition title reflects times of uncertainty and turbulence, facing the unknown.
“After our artist’s public art projects in Central London that started in January 2021, our artist Claire Luxton is continuing to inspire Londoners with her art. For this special project, Londoners are invited to look at their feet level as they wander on Regent Street to spot the beautiful and colourful artworks of our artist on brand new planters. The Crown Estate and Westminster City Council helped Regent Street to create a greener, safer and more accessible West End and we are proud to be stepping in and highlighting it with these super cool photographs. Our partners have worked closely with experts to carefully consider the types of plants and trees they are introducing, to ensure that they continue to improve biodiversity and enhance the experience for Londoners. It’s so important to us to have a positive impact on the development of one of London’s busiest areas and in continuing to improve the future of our high streets with our partners and our artists. To spot our planters with the photographs of our artist, passers-by can start their trail at Oxford Circus and head down towards Regent Street.”

German artist Pierre Schmidt, born in 1987 and also known as “dromsjel”, creates mind-bending imagery that combines digital illustration and collage techniques.

Using photo manipulation, illustration, and collage, Pierre has found the perfect balance within each medium he utilizes, creating a diverse set terrifyingly beautiful pieces of art. His art can be found in Cosmopolitan, Vogue Italia, Hi-Fructose Magazine and Vice.

“I am a painter and I mostly work in series and in large scale and oil on canvas. Each series is based on a specific location, that I try to examine more closely in my paintings. I have just finished the work on my last series „Sculpting in Time“, which was on view at Fridman Gallery in NYC until early January. The paintings show rooms of the urban utopia Arcosanti, which was designed by Frank Ilyod Wright student Paolo Soleri in the desert of Arizona. Ideally, my work is shifting somewhere between fact and fiction. The rooms shown in „Sculpting in Time“ become chambers of wonders, in the sense of baroque imaginariums. I try to fill a ruin, so to speak, with life again. But you will never find people in my paintings.”

SPACE10 is a research and design lab, on a mission to create a better everyday life for people and the planet.
Exploring societal, technological, and environmental shifts likely to influence people’s lives in the coming years, they wanted to visualize the different ways that climate crisis is manifesting itself, through climate stressors.
“To support their different projects and articles relating to the crisis, these visuals will then be used to highlight in a beautiful way, nature we all love and remember.
Our task was to create visualizations of three phenomena: wildfires, floods, and droughts. The focus was on how these processes unfold over time and, eventually, become massive forces that alter entire ecosystems.” - says Media Work
“Visually, we looked for the balance between aesthetically pleasing and alarming — we had to show the phenomena as something important that is happening here and now, although, not to create frightening catastrophic images that would leave the viewer hopeless.” - continues Media Work



Jon Ching is a self-trained artist originally from Kaneohe, Hawaii and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Steeped in natural beauty of O’ahu, Hawai’i, his island upbringing instilled in him indigenous lessons of appreciation and respect for nature, forming the foundation of his fascination with the natural and wild world, which deeply influences and drives his current work.


Jon’s devoted art practice and detailed realism is inspired by the interconnectedness of nature. His work is a surreal imagining of what limitless wonders and combinations nature can produce. New creatures and symbioses emerge in his meticulously rendered oil paintings, exemplifying the endless potential of life on Earth through metaphor and allegory.


Jon’s ultimate hope is to inspire love and admiration for the universally unique beauty and intrigue of our planet. He regularly works to bring awareness to endangered species, the current mass extinction crisis and climate change and continues to partner with environmental organizations in fundraising and educational efforts.
Until we can meet face-to-face again, OFFF moves to a virtual world powered by Futura Space where all the activities scheduled for the 2021 edition will be celebrated. OFFF is hosting an immersive experience as you’ve never seen before. They are excited to introduce you to out-of-this-world realities. This metaverse broadly understood as a persistent, shared virtual realm is no longer just fodder for science fiction.
“This world OFFF 2021 powered by Futura Space will always be on; it’s live and in real time; its experiences and content will be created for and by our community. The metaverse will allow you to interact with other participants through personalized avatars: make new friends, chat, networking, walk through the different spaces of this virtual world, attend the 36 talks of our speakers and workshops that will be organized, a free zone with surprise content.
We conceive these other worlds not as single destinations to which everyone goes by default, but as a complex network consisting of browsers, indexes and portals. One constantly buzzing with activity, where our community can go whenever you want, and do whatever you want.
One significant feature of the metaverse is its interoperability. That is, my ability to travel across it, hopping frictionlessly from portal to portal.
Welcome to the OFFF metaverse, alternate digital realities where people work, play, and socialize. You can call it the metaverse, the mirror world, the Magicverse, the Spatial internet, or Live Maps, but one thing is for certain, it’s coming and it’s a big deal.”
