Numéro 255

Also in this issue: a focus on contemporary art maestro Daniel Buren, who rose to fame with his famous striped installations in the 1960s. Now exhibited all over the world, the French artist is preparing a joint exhibition with the young Miles Greenberg at Reiffers Art Initiatives in Paris for the fall.

As usual, this new issue shines a spotlight on young talent. Rising film star Eva Yelmani, recently revealed in Romane Bohringer's new film Dites-lui que je l'aime. Nigerian musician Obongjayar, whose hybrid work blends Afrobeat sounds with spiritual lyrics. Designer Vincent Pressiat, whose fashion and runway shows are brimming with boldness and exuberance. But also singer Eva, who has made quite a splash in the French music scene in recent years.

In a world where everything must be controlled, measured and rationalised, passion unsettles: it escapes control and refuses compromise. Also in this issue: Victoria Luengo, who brought two films to this year's Cannes Film Festival, Pedro Almodóvar's Autofiction and Rodrigo Sorogoyen's L'Être aimé; Leïla Bekhti, whose work relentlessly explores identity and female emancipation, and who has turned her red-carpet appearances into a powerful statement; Eartheater, unveiling a seventh album of experimental electroacoustic pop; La Vie d'une femme, starring Léa Drucker and Mélanie Thierry; Arthur Harari's L'Inconnue, in competition at Cannes with Léa Seydoux and Niels Schneider.

By a swimming pool in Los Angeles, Taylor Russell opens up with fire and daring in this issue. Also in this issue: Pedro Almodóvar, who has just presented Autofiction in Cannes, a dive into the workings of his mind and a creative process he describes as an inner ocean of emotions; Alewya, the London-based singer, songwriter and producer releasing her debut album this summer; Iliona, at 25 one of the brightest stars of the French-speaking scene; Charlotte Cardin, named female artist of the year.
