Jan Pypers’ photographs are a callback to the dioramas of old museums, that seem to mourn our lost connection with nature and the animal kingdom.

All the way from Italy, Spazio Nuovo brings a breath of fresh air to Unseen. Feel the salty summery breeze through Giuseppe Lo Schiavo’s ‘Windowscapes’ and the immaculateness of Juan Baraja’s tropical details.
