'Exploring the relationship between art and fashion'
Each issue of Middle Plane typically uses fashion as an entry point in examining a single artist’s work and legacy.

Featuring the likes of Willem Dafoe, Marina Abramović, Alvaro Barrington, Urs Fischer, Fumiko Imano, Angela Hill, and more, with six covers to choose from.
