Tilda Mace performanceGallery / 12 images You’re standing in the audience at London’s coOc on a Saturday night. DJ Daniel Fabari is on the decks, playing a psychedelic soundscape of humming, shamanic chanting, drumming, breathwork, animal noises, poems, and the thud of a punching bag being struck again and again. The lights around you glitch. On stage, make-up and SFX artist Tilda Mace stands beside a bare-chested model wrapped in furs. There’s something uncanny about him, though you can’t quite place it – until Tilda begins cutting him open. The music grows heavier, hyena cries filling the room. And then a figure emerges from the ruins of the skin, which you now realise was prosthetic: a second head, another pair of...

5 more body art and SFX artists you need

As our identities become increasingly enmeshed with digital worlds, it’s easy to feel split between who we are online and who we are IRL.

Supermodel Anok Yai: ‘I’ve really learned to listen to

Last year was a whirlwind for Sudanese-American model and former Dazed cover star Anok Yai. Crowned 2025’s Model of the Year, she opened Ferragamo, Coperni and Hugo Boss, closed Ralph Lauren, Fendi, Vetements and Messika, and walked countless other shows during the SS26 season. Amid the rush of the fashion world, Yai was also navigating a very different journey, as she underwent a series of lung surgeries, which she announced in a post shared to Instagram. “After my recent healthcare journey, I’ve really learned to listen to my body. Your body is always communicating with you and sending you signs, and I’ve stopped ignoring them,” she tells Dazed. “I now treat my body as a separate entity to myself – I...
