The Summer 2026 Issue - Aperture No. 263

The summer issue considers the relationship between photography and secrecy—from espionage and conspiracy to voyeuristic encounters and secret handshakes. Featuring never-before-seen work by artists including Estelle Hanania, Sarah Charlesworth, and John Divola—and a career-spanning interview with Taryn Simon ahead of her major Guggenheim solo show in September—the issue explores the hidden forces that shape our lives and what we see, offering a thrilling look through the keyhole of photography.
