VANISHING POINT
This Week From The Editor

Have you ever photographed a long road? Towards the far north of your image, the road thins into a sharp triangular apex, before it disappears altogether. That is the 'vanishing point', the pictorial boundary that divides human perception from imagination.

Convergence | Divergence | Emergence

This week, various vanishing points orient us across art, architecture & design. 'Building A Workshop', an exclusive video essay by STIR in collaboration with RPBW, delves into the practice's decades-long journey, featuring talks, walkthroughs and unique insights into the Workshop's everyday in Paris and Genoa. At a Greek winery designed by Fotis Zapantiotis Associated Architects, a line and a circle form a portal, leading you into a subterranean world of winemaking. At the new Almaty Museum of Arts in Kazakhstan, the country's nomadic heritage and its Soviet

past drive new formulations of cultural and social identity, staging these explorations in its steppe, or temperate grasslands—these interminable expanses seemingly unpopulated, yet a crucible for centuries of Kazakh culture. 'Duniya Parchhaiyon Ki', an exhibition at Arthshila Delhi, turns to Bollywood film posters, demonstrating how they are shaped by parasocial networks of audience engagement, desire and fandom.

How far can you see, on the horizon of time and space? Vanishing points emphasise convergence, and perhaps collectivity, in the possibility of moving together towards the unknown. They may mark the limits of vision and perspective, but also invite us to dream beyond what we see.
