Beastin/BSTN

BSTN has long been an icon within European street and sneaker culture, and through its collaboration with Mankovsky Gallery, their aesthetic is transported into the realm of fine art. The series of works, photographed by Filip Gorski, portrays sneakers as more than just objects – they become symbols of identity, desire, and the passage of time.

With “First Light” and “Last Legs”, a contrast emerges between the new and the worn, the untouched and the lived-in. Here, the sneaker transforms into an artistic medium as charged as a classical sculpture, yet rooted in a subculture that today resonates worldwide. The raw authenticity is reinforced by Gorski’s background and eye for detail, lending the images an almost documentary-like intensity.
