Foam Magazine Issue 67 (the Test of Time Issue). In celebration of Foam’s 25th anniversary, this landmark issue of Foam Magazine reflects on the museum’s legacy and the role of the photographic medium in society through the question: what makes an image stand the test of time? Featuring 92 contributors from across photography and beyond, the issue brings together portfolios, conversations, and personal reflections.
Foam Magazine Issue 66 (the Missing Mirror Issue) is here. Are you a robot? is a question everyone has likely come across while using the internet. The most common way to prove that you’re, in fact, not a robot is by analysing a set of photographs and selecting the ones depicting a bus, a motorcycle, a fire hydrant, or a traffic light.
Foam Magazine Issue 65 (the Talent Issue) is available now on loremnotipsum.com. The Foam Magazine Talent 2024–2025 Issue brings together 20 innovative voices in photography from across the world. The selected artists create thoughtful reflections of our times: some allow us to see the world as it was through its archives, others bear witness to today’s sociopolitical affairs and some step into the future by inviting new technologies into their practice. Are we at a crossroads of the medium? In any case, change is inevitable.
Foam Magazine Issue 64 (EXTREMES – The Environmental Issue) is here. The new issue looks at the complexities of today’s human-nature relationship through two different lenses. One half focuses on abundance and the other half, featured on the flip side of the magazine, on scarcity.

Foam Magazine Issue 61 (the Talent Issue) is available now on loremnotipsum.com. The 20 fascinating artists selected for our 2022 edition of Foam Magazine’s Talent Issue look closely at both the world around us, and the one within — without shying away from discomfort or pain.

Foam Magazine Issue 60 (Glyphs) is here. From art, literature and media to academia and internet culture, the visual and the written language have crossed paths many a time, creating a genre of their own. Our interest lies in the current creation and consumption of images and text, which is why the following contributions look closely at current crossroads and intersections of the two. What meanings and stories can one medium give or take from the other? And how can they influence our thinking or the way we perceive and navigate a world of fact and fiction.
Foam Magazine Issue 59 (Histories) is here. The new issue of Foam Magazine focuses on the archive as subject and looks at contemporary ways of engaging with archival images, and their remediation as a form of activation and critical analysis. The relationship between photography and the archive is a symbiotic one, but also an inherently problematic one, which is why the questions addressed in this magazine relate to its construction, and place decolonial approaches at the centre of the conversation.
Foam Magazine Issue 58 (Talents) is here and presents a selection of outstanding artists, each in their own way feeling the pulse of our times. This year’s common, underlying theme is a close, sharp look at one of the most important subjects, the human condition. While being born out of the Covid-19 pandemic, this issue is also a beautiful, hopeful and refreshing statement of the possibilities our medium offers, and the exciting future ahead.
Foam Magazine Issue 57 (In Limbo) reflects on how we are experiencing the two main topics of our time — a global pandemic and social challenges — while looking at how this could be a fundamental chance to shift our questions on photography: stop asking ‘what photography is’ and start consciously talking about ‘what photography can do’ and ‘what we want photography to do’.
Foam Magazine Issue 56 (the Other Issue) is available now on loremnotipsum.com and explores the many declinations of the word other in connection to photography and visual culture. We investigate its creation and ramifications in relation to people and nature — alone a spectrum that touched upon trans humanism and the ‘other-than-human’, in connection to the Anthropocene and ecology.
Foam Magazine Issue 55 (the Talent Issue 2020) is here. The Talent Issue this year is even more special: for the first time in the history of Foam Magazine we are releasing two different covers, one with an image by Kamonlak Sukchai and the other by Alba Zari.
