A KALTBLUT exclusive. Photography by Mauricio Dumont. Make-up by Virginia Rotunno and Mary Tutino. The brands used are AVAVAV and Maxivive. “This series, spanning 2020-2024 and captured in cities like Barcelona and Milan, encapsulates the struggles and resilience of our generation amidst global crises. Through these images, I explore the juxtaposition of curated social media personas and authentic human emotions, reflecting our collective quest for truth amidst societal pressures. Despite the adversities we face, there’s a prevailing message of unity and hope, urging us to embrace our true selves and carve our paths forward. As we navigate these turbulent times, we’re increasingly aware of the limitations of traditional institutions and the significance of individual agency in shaping our destinies. I believe that amid uncertainty, our generation possesses the strength and determination to effect positive change.” *Mauricio Dumont
