Welcome to our Friends list.
We believe art should be accessible to all of us. That’s why our stories will always stay free, for everyone to watch, read or listen to.
Creating them takes time, care and resources. We’re a small, dedicated team at the very beginning of an ambitious journey, and every Friend helps us keep making films about artists while we build a cultural community around them.
If you value independent artistic storytelling, we’d be grateful to have you with us. For €5 a month (€55/ year), you become part of shaping a living stream of art.
Our Thank You
• Early access to upcoming edition prints
• 10% off in our shop
• One of our posters after one year of membership
• With every 10th new Friend, we give away a book to a randomly chosen Friend
Let's build something meaningful together
The more Friends join, the more we can make. Everything we unlock is unlocked for all of you:
☑️ 20 Friends – Extra content
100 Friends – Live Q&A streams
1,000 Friends – Coffee dates and philosophy episodes
10,000 Friends – Exclusive long-format episodes

Beyond that, we’ll see what the future holds, together.
For those who want to go beyond.
