Director Luis Corzo captures a rare glimpse of city life in North Korea

Director Luis Corzo explains what we're looking at in his atmospheric short depicting a street scene in North Korea:

"The Day of the Sun is an annual public holiday in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. It takes place on 15 April, the birth anniversary of Kim Ilsung, founder and president of North Korea. It was on this day, in 2016, that I created One Minute.” 

“The city seemed to me like a Brutalist Disneyland”

Despite heavy restrictions and regulations on documentation, I was able to record one minute from a bus of street activity in the capital Pyongyang. The city seemed to me like a Brutalist Disneyland, and the atmosphere was tense, which is strange as this is considered the most anticipated celebration of the year."

Rick Owens, Temple of Love

The Palais Galliera hosts Paris’ first exhibition dedicated to avant-garde fashion designer Rick Owens, featuring over 100 silhouettes across collections from his early Los Angeles beginnings to his latest works. Fascinated by spiritual ritual, his creations draw on references from Joris-Karl Huysmans, modern and contemporary art, and early Hollywood films, sitting alongside personal documents, videos and never-before-seen installations. Also acting as the exhibition’s artistic director, Rick Owens has collaborated on the curation at the Palais Galliera to create an exhibition trail extending to the museum’s façade and garden. Until 4 January 2026

Heatwave

Presented by New York’s Edwynn Houk Gallery, group exhibition Heatwave explores heat not just as temperature, but as sensation, atmosphere, memory, and transformation. Featuring photographic works by Lillian Bassman, Elliott Erwitt, Lalla Essaydi, Robert Heinecken, Sally Mann, Joel Meyerowitz, Abelardo Morell, Erwin Olaf, and Herb Ritts, the exhibition shows how photography shapes, reveals, distorts, and intensifies perception. Carried by immediacy, sensual intensity and a charged stillness, collectively, these works convey not only how the world looks, but how it feels. Until 1 August 2025

David Hockney 25

David Hockney, one of the most influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, has taken over the entire building of the Fondation Louis Vuitton for an exhibition that is exceptional in its scale and originality. David Hockey 25 brings together more than 400 of his works (from 1955 to 2025), including paintings from international, institutional, and private collections, as well as works from the artist’s own studio and Foundation. The exhibition shows how the artist has continually renewed both his subjects and his mode of expression, reinventing his art with the use of new media to become a champion of new technologies. Until 31 August.
