Tank Magazine
And what was the world?
Jun 2026
In the striking series And what was the world?, Tank Magazine curates a visual narrative that blurs the lines between reality and dreamscape. This fashion editorial leans into a quiet, contemplative mood, utilizing natural light to anchor its cinematic vignettes in landscapes that feel both timeless and deeply personal. Photographer Aitor Laspiur masterfully captures a juxtaposition of scale and silence, placing subjects within expansive, mist-drenched brutalist courtyards or intimate, pattern-cluttered domestic spaces. The aesthetic is defined by an editorial minimalism that allows the storytelling to breathe, whether through the surreal inclusion of toy soldier motifs or the stark presence of brass instruments held by a silent group in a rolling meadow. Under the direction of fashion editor and stylist Martxel Montero, the wardrobe choices act as a bridge between the subjects and their environments, with floral prints and structured tailoring providing a sharp contrast against stone labyrinths and rural architecture. Makeup artist Alba Cordoba completes the vision, focusing on a stripped-back, authentic approach that highlights the textures of skin and the sincerity of a gaze. The project serves as a compelling study in atmosphere, where the stillness of the compositions invites the viewer to linger in the spaces between the frames. It is a sophisticated, evocative piece of work that succeeds by refusing to rush, opting instead for a haunting, poetic resonance that lingers long after the final image.
