Mischa Haller captures the British intimacy of the afters

4 weeks ago | huckmag.com | Saqib Mugloo |Jake Hall |Paolo Bicchieri |Isaac Muk

Everyone knows the three phases of a good night out: First, there are the pres – the cheap booze downed to tinny music from a phone speaker. Then, the main event. And finally – for the real ones – come the afters. The lights flicker on, the club doors swing open, and the strangers you’ve just shared hours in a sweaty moshpit with file out like moths to the light of the nearest kebab shop. There’s a camaraderie in these hours, a shared unraveling.

Onda Nova opens with a battle of the sexes football match, but with a twist: everyone cross-dresses. Two women watch on with glee, painting red lipstick onto the lips of a young man and sealing it with a kiss. A wiry, muscular footballer ties his floor-length, fuchsia dress at his hips, for ease of movement. Women laugh as they sprint across the field, giddy at the thought of going down on each other after the match.

The largest urban beach in the United States is a 170-acre spit of land with a seven-and-a-half mile stretch of ocean. The neighbourhood and coast share the same name: Rockaway Beach. The roughly 13,000 people who live in this seaside cut of Queens represent one of America’s least-discussed surf breaks. It’s where many New Yorkers ride their first waves. Queens’s Anthony Bourdain and Action Bronson boogie boarded there through a snowstorm. Between Memorial and Labor days, the beach is blown out.

One morning in June 2013, Turkish photographer Sıla Yalazan travelled to Taksim Square in the centre of Istanbul with a friend. They knew that the situation would be tense – since May 28, a wave of protests had broken out to fight the government’s plans to develop the neighbouring Gezi Park with a shopping mall, but as the demonstrations snowballed, they had turned into a moment of existentialism for Türkiye’s government and its relations with its people.
