16 Aug

The Australian artist is back with what would be the yr’s hottest video, with references to Peter Hujar, Caravaggio and Wolfgang Tillmans. Strap in and strap on!

It’s almost definitely not Rick Braukis, a chemical specialist who carries out experiments in Prada dresses and heels, and handles flaming compounds in her underwear. Her Instagram is an enigmatic mix of quad bikes, awe-inspiring nature, horses and high fashion: plants with iridescent leaves, neon stripper heels, and flaming knives.
