Our world is shaped by design. Spaces, clothing, typography—these elements quietly determine how we live, often without us noticing. Let’s turn our attention to the overlooked details and forgotten corners. How do people with a heightened sensitivity to the world around them experience a city? How do they wear their beliefs? How do they bring imagination into form through their hands? How do they speak about design? And how can design be discussed beyond the realm of iconic masters? What everyday creativity lies just within reach, waiting to be seen?
In today’s society, where everything is measured by “efficiency,” the value and effectiveness of “art” and “making art” are constantly questioned. The themed selection What Art Can Do reveals that the act of creating art defies quantifiable KPIs. Artistic creation can withstand the challenges of value-driven thinking—if we are willing to rethink what “value” truly means. After all, every interpretation of value begins with humanity.
"I want to keep creating until my final breath—always shaking people to their core." So said the sensational artist Yayoi Kusama, whose bold vision reshaped a generation’s sense of beauty. But what is art? And what isn’t? Giloo presents a selection of eight biographical documentaries, offering a rare glimpse into the lives of trailblazers who have redefined aesthetic boundaries and challenged the way we see the world.
Cinema is undoubtedly another path through which we enter the world. Ingmar Bergman wandered between God and demons, using his own life to probe the depths of emotion—only to discover that solitude was all he ever truly possessed. Yayoi Kusama poured her life into art, fleeing Japan for New York, only to confront the raw realities of gender, race, and power. Destroyed, reborn, and now radiant on the world stage. Vivienne Westwood broke all conventions—proclaiming taboo love and building a punk fashion empire in the heart of London. Music maestro Ryuichi Sakamoto, upon his cancer diagnosis, revisited the delicate bond between life and sound, letting us glimpse his final chapter in all its intimate, everyday details. And then there’s Imelda Marcos—the woman behind three thousand pairs of shoes. In her quest to restore the Marcos regime, she spared no effort. To her, power, money, and beauty are inseparable. But above all, she reminds the world: only a mother’s love can embrace everything. “I am the mother of the Philippines—and of the world. Love. Money.”
