Nitroglobus is proud to announce the return of acclaimed artist Kian with his new exhibition DRAG.ed & FRAME.d, on view throughout December 2025 at The Annex of Nitroglobus.
After his last showing, Zornian Women (June 2023), I repeatedly invited Kian to present new work. His return marks not only a renewed collaboration but also a striking continuation of his distinctive artistic voice.
In DRAG.ed & FRAME.d, Kian delves into themes that lie at the heart of his practice—humor, daring aesthetic choices, and provocative conceptual play. The series moves fluidly “between power and vulnerability,” as the artist describes, exploring identity, performativity, and the thresholds between constructed and perceived selves.
Kian is back with a topic that is unmistakably his. His work is daring, humorous, and thought-provoking, encouraging visitors to look beyond boundaries and conventions. I’m sincerely happy to welcome him again to Nitroglobus.
Visitors are encouraged to read Kian’s accompanying text, which offers a deeper look into the conceptual motivations behind the exhibition.
Opening party: Monday, 1st December, 12 PM SLT
Music by DJ Joss Floss

Description by the artist:
Welcome to Drag.ed and Frame.d—an intimate visual journey shaped through the art of drag and the boundless possibilities of photography. These images reveal a character who shifts fluidly between power and vulnerability: at times bold, vibrant, and unapologetically commanding; at others quiet, fragile, and suspended in moments of loneliness. Through this duality, I explores the emotional spectrum of identity and performance, challenging how we see strength, beauty, and self-expression.
Drag, in his hands, becomes more than costume—it becomes a language. A space where diversity thrives, where boundaries of gender, presence, and reality are stretched and redefined. Each photograph invites viewers to question what is real, what is constructed, and what lies in the in-between.
Thank you for stepping into this world. May these images encourage you to embrace complexity, celebrate difference, and find truth in every transformation.

A different photo from the same day as my 2 previous shots. After warming up in the car a few minutes I decided it was too beautiful not to take a walk and get a few more shots along the river.

There will always be door that are open for possibilities, not one, but more than one. Whenever one feels depress should look again at the options or should create one option rather than giving up.

Things were starting to happen a bit quicker now as the sun slipped below the horizon, hence the ND filter came off
There was a fellow Tog, from Cannock, stood next to me as the sun went down. We were both excited at the possibility of some real colour after the two grey days we had had. As so often happens the sun dipping below the horizon is the beginning of the real colour not the end. A final choice of position and a matter of waiting to see what happens.
Recently PKP PLK decided to start a big undertaking with the aim of clearing up the railway line no. 12 connecting Skierniewice and Łuków of the countless bushes and trees which grow directly on the trackside. As a result, many new spots for photos opened up and they provide us with a completely fresh perspective on the otherwise boring railway line.

Brisbane, Australia. The young couple cuddling under the tree caught my attention - the cyclist was a bonus.
Arriving at the west end of the BN's yard, 103 and its homely hack cooled their wheels while SD9 6137 sorted out cars , probably including the outbound train for Colorado & Wyoming to take back to Sunrise ore mine. The BN's Orin line had only been recently completed and there are signs of the beginnings of construction to convert the CB&Q yard into one that would accomodate the coal trains. The whole yard can be seen in this shot, but beyond the Hwy26 overpass in the far distance is the beginning of the new yard with tracks of adequate length. Above the fourth car behind the BN6137, hiding behind the budding cottonwoods, can be seen the CB&Q's two story depot (with the second floor once used for living quarters for the operator/agent.) It was neatly kept in white side shingles with green trim. There had been talk of saving the old depot, but one night a mysterious fire eliminated that possibility. The wooden stairway in the foreground reached a platform on my left where a switchman could pass signals, between the rest of the crew working the lead and the engineer around a left hand curve behind me.

Who would have thought that such a beautiful place could be inadvertently stumbled upon - just outside Watford!
UPDATE! March 01st 2012.
This photograph has been bought by the very lovely and talented 'Slakah the Beatchild' an independent record producer and singer/songwriter based in Canada; for his new album released this year (2012) under the name of his altar ego 'Slakahdeliq'. The album is called 'The Other Side of Tomorrow' and is available for digital download here, on a 'free or pay what you can basis' (as of Feb/March 2012 anyway).
Check it out if you get a chance, you never know you might discover a musician you never knew you liked! :)

I had numerous cameras and film with me - so it's been interesting how each combination of film and camera has responded to what was for me, a joyful and unexpected discovery. (The sensory memory of which, bottled somewhere deep in my limbic system, will live with me more powerfully than any image.) I'll be 'drip-feeding' you all images from this poppy field well into the Winter I suspect! ;)

This one - part of my ongoing experiments with Redscale - moving from the blunt application of that banging colour, to explore other possibilities beyond that...The first roll was shot almost exclusively along the environs of Stokes Croft, Cheltenham Road & Gloucester Road and mostly graffiti. The intention of the second roll was to find mainstream advertising or images from more affluent areas of the city, or more pastoral/non urban environments. I did not line up the film, nor take notes, nor plan beyond striving for the principle of contrasting subjects. The negatives were returned uncut as requested, but I did get lab scans - any overlaps of one frame over another, are a result of this. I have cropped where I feel it is most helpful to do so, so any inclusion of frame overlap is these uploaded images has been an active choice. I will almost certainly return to the negs with a home scanner to search for alternative compositions to complement these.
In some cases I have found the results quite 'dark' and unsettling in mood - quite a refreshing departure for my stream. I plan to explore this some more.

Basically it involves taking a roll of ordinary 'bog standard' print film, reversing it and respooling it into another film canister (all done in a dark bag) so that the light is exposed on 'the wrong side of the film' when you take a shot. You then lose two 'stops' on the optimal exposure conditions from the original. It gets developed in exactly the same way as print film, but be prepared for the technician to be a little startled (at best) or a little irritated (at worst) when they realise that something very odd has happened to the film. :)
The Heliconius butterfly can live up to 9 months while neotropical butterflies normally live a couple weeks! They are able to do this because they increase their protein intake by digesting pollen on their proboscis.
Heliconius butterflies have two unique traits: pollen feeding and pupal-mating. Adult butterflies systematically collect pollen from flowers which they masticate on the proboscis to dissolve out amino acids. Since they do not need to store nutrients for egg and sperm production, caterpillars are able to develop rapidly allowing adults to have a greatly extended lifespan in the wild.
Pupal mating is a second unusual trait found in some Heliconius species. Males search for female pupae on larval food plants and sit on them. The next morning mating occurs before the female has completely emerged. Pupal-mating may enhance the possibility of intrageneric mimicry. Second, it may influence host-plant specialization, as pupal-mating species may displace other heliconiines from their hosts by interference competition.
About the name... Helicon is a mountain in southern Greece, in Boeotia, regarded in ancient Greece, as the source of poetry and inspiration. From it flowed the fountains of Aganippe and Hippocrene associated with Muses. The nine Muses are daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory. The Muses sat near the throne of Zeus, king of the gods, and sang of his greatness and the origin of the world.

I found the most mezmerizing possibilities in a huge soundboard. I think that's what they call them. Here's one example.
After looking at this on the monitor, the pic tends to scramble my eyeballs.

I took this one through my car windshield driving in to work this week. It made me feel like there was something that was just beyond my reach.
- just a thought; here's a shot I might have submitted for Saturday Self-Challenge: pipes and tubes today
- these poppies at West Dean had been planted in an old water tank

Predicting the color of a sand dune is pretty much like predicting what you’re going pick out of a box of mixed chocolates. There’s a range of possibilities and some definite patterns, but you will get surprises.
If you have an obsessively fixed idea of the color of sand, such variable outcomes could drive you to sticking with black and white conversions.
Liminal spaces - spaces in between - draw my eye, and a sense of possibility. What lies on the other side of the creek? What awaits in the water?

One of the upsides of waiting on a pilot car to get through the canyon early in the morning is the possibility of witnessing a glorious sunrise, and yesterday's sunrise was definitely spectacular. Happy Friday!!!
With the possibility of the Gorge icing up this week, I knew I had to dig into my archives to find a shot from last year. I may have lived in Iowa for 22 years (and the 20 below windchill) and Massachusetts for four years (with the barrage of blizzards) but until coming to Oregon I had never experienced anything quite like the beauty of a frozen waterfall. They are, quite simply, breathtaking.
Waterfalls are quite amazing. I mean, you know this, but allow me to elaborate. It's not just the sound of that gently falling (or thundering) water. It's the personalities - every falls has a different feel and look from another - and every falls has a different look in every season. Any given waterfall has at least a dozen different moods, depending on the season and the weather. Add in the variable a photographer brings - different cameras, film and, of course, artistic vision - and how could we ever grow exhausted of photographing these wonders? I know I never could.
Soft sigh. Gosh, how I do hope it gets cold - and I mean really, really cold - this week. I also hope my bald tires don't spend me tail spinning down I-84, but that's a different story.
Anyway, this is Elowah Falls last winter, taken with my Zero Image 2000.
HMM-- the theme for today, 11/2, is halloween, so i thought i'd add a little sparkle to the photostream with this possibility.
"macro mondays" halloween possibility
Standing on the ridge, watching the wind roll through the valley, it feels like the world just keeps going — horizon after horizon, cloud after cloud. The turbines turn quietly in the distance, a reminder of how far we’ve come and how much more there is ahead.
This view is more than a landscape; it’s a moment of stillness that whispers possibility — of journeys not yet taken, and ideas still forming on the edge of the sky.
