peer-to-peer feedback session | Intersecciones × Wanderstories

Join us for Ignacio Navas’ Open Studio, our newest resident at the FUTURES Hub. Ignacio Navas will present his project “ORACLE” as part of the FUTURES Residency.

Ignacio works at the intersection of photography, data, and emerging technologies. His practice transforms everyday images into computational, generative, and interactive systems that reveal how political, economic, and social forces shape the world around us.

"ORACLE is a computational photographic project that reimagines Luigi Ghirri’s Atlante within the financial landscape. Where Ghirri used macro views of an atlas to read the world—describing mountains, cities, oceans, and deserts as a system of signs—ORACLE recontextualises this logic by shifting its focus to bank notes, turning emblems, portraits, seals, numerals, and national symbols into omens of market tensions, corporate expectations, and speculative finance." - Ignacio Navas -

About Intersecciones

Please join us for the first FUTURES x Magnum Artist Spotlight of 2026 with Marcus Gustafsson.

Marcus Gustafsson will present his first photo-book, Filling the Gaps, published by Kultbooks.

In his debut book Gustafsson explores a deeply personal and complex narrative about his father’s alcoholism and its impact on himself and his family. The project reconciles fragmented memories to better understand the circumstances that have shaped his life and relationships, while also serving as an effort toward healing and reconnecting with his fractured family.

It confronts the duality of growing up with an alcoholic parent—the struggle to break free while remaining bound by a shared history—and the void left behind when the family’s unifying figure is gone. The work examines how addiction alters family dynamics, leaves lasting marks, and challenges the possibility of moving forward.

‍

In Filling in the Gaps, Marcus combines his own images with archival family photographs. His visual language is raw yet stylized, documenting his father’s daily life and surroundings while also turning the camera toward himself, reflecting the tension between reality and memory. Altered family photos—taped or drawn over—become acts of reclamation, as he infuses inherited memories with his own voice. Filling in the Gaps is an emotional exploration of trauma, showing how revisiting painful memories can open paths toward reconciliation and peace with the past.
