Troya by Gordon von Steiner
Gordon von Steiner’s “Troya” is a visually striking short film set in the Troieshchyna neighborhood of Kyiv, known for its stark Soviet-era architecture. The film explores themes of urban isolation and resilience through a series of compelling and gritty vignettes. Von Steiner’s direction captures the raw and unembellished aesthetics of Troieshchyna, highlighting its dense clusters of monotonous apartment buildings and the lives of its residents. The film juxtaposes the area’s bleak physical environment with moments of unexpected beauty and humanity, creating a powerful narrative that resonates with the viewer .

Nike Undercover Gyakusou FW11 _ Running Monks
Fall/Winter 2011 campaign imagery from Nike x Undercover Gyakusou, Jun Takahashi’s running project with Nike. Shot in Kyoto, the Running Monks film and lookbook place technical running apparel against temple architecture, shrine paths, moss, stone, and woodland.
The collection frames running as a quiet, ritualized practice rather than a purely athletic one. Slim outer layers, tights, gloves, caps, and tonal performance pieces sit within a muted autumn palette, connecting Nike running technology with Undercover’s controlled, monastic visual language.
