Nothing Scheduled, Nobody Coming

Maryna Linchuk has one of those afternoons. Friends are working or passed out somewhere irrelevant, the city outside is doing nothing worth joining, and there’s a flat cola on the table next to a stack of magazines that were already outdated when someone bought them. So she does what you do when the hours refuse to move: she pages through them without reading, takes a slow sip, lets her hand drift to wherever it wants to go.

Victor Demarchelier photographed all of it for 25 Magazine. There’s a specific restlessness that photography almost never catches honestly—too easy to aestheticize, too easy to make it look elegantly melancholic rather than aimless and mildly horny. Demarchelier got it right.
