Pejman Birounvand – The Forumist

BACK IN MOTION

Pejman Birounvand — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 17:00:05 +0000

Summer is still here, but a new season is calling. As the city slowly returns to its rhythm, a fresh energy begins to emerge. Soft layers meet sharper silhouettes, balancing the ease of summer with a renewed urban spirit. This story captures that moment in between — when familiar routines return, new possibilities appear, and the mood begins to shift. Let’s embrace the shift and step into a new season with a fresh direction, renewed spirit, and a sense of what’s to come.

Magic World

Pejman Birounvand — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 13:38:12 +0000

Born and raised in the south of France and now based in Paris, contemporary artists and photographers Alexandre Henry and Joy Lavigne explore the space between reality and fiction through a collaborative practice spanning photography, installation, and scenography.

In Magic World, the familiar landscapes of southern France become sites of visual experimentation. Hand-built objects, sculptural structures, and fictional figures appear within existing environments, subtly disrupting their idealised image and shifting the familiar towards something more ambiguous and imagined.

At the centre of the series is the human body, treated as both a sculptural and narrative presence. Through staged, often theatrical compositions, bodies interact with constructed environments to form scenes suspended somewhere between the real and the surreal.

Rather than escaping reality, Magic World gently reshapes it. Drawing on ideas of territory, heritage, and collective memory, Henry and Lavigne reveal another side of landscapes so often defined by familiar imagery—transforming them into spaces where material, memory, and imagination coexist.

As Magic World invites us to look beyond the familiar and embrace the unexpected, we wish you a summer filled with magic, joy, and surprises.

Summer Haze

Pejman Birounvand — Sun, 19 Jul 2026 08:24:20 +0000

Some summers are loud. Others unfold in whispers. Soft Focus drifts through flushed skin, sheer layers, and moments that feel half remembered, half imagined. Captured by the French team, the story slips between beauty and fashion, where precision meets playfulness in every frame. Easy, playful, and quietly rebellious, this story captures summer at its most effortless.

Blurred Ritual

Pejman Birounvand — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 15:03:41 +0000

Identity is never fixed. It shifts with movement, light and perspective, revealing something new in every frame. Fashion becomes less about a single image and more about the moments in between, where presence, emotion and transformation come together. May it inspire the week ahead, filled with shimmering perspectives, unexpected encounters, and moments worth remembering.

Whispers

Pejman Birounvand — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 10:48:16 +0000

The fall arrives with a quiet kind of magic, the last traces of summer still lingering in the air, like a memory that refuses to fade. It’s that rare in-between moment, when the warmth of the past season seems to hand you the courage to face what’s next. Autumn doesn’t just signal change; it invites transformation. It’s a chance to step into a new confidence, take on the challenges ahead, and play the game of life with a fresh, fearless energy.
