Future fashion or post-apocalyptic decadence? Photography by Danil Golovkin - All Rights Reserved
Part of a series of images from the liquid metal, carbo-plastic, hydrogel and permacrete core of visual creators on the Internet. Images that stir my senses and evoke plots and concepts for what I’d like to see (or fear) in the future.
Danil Golovkin is a Russian fashion photographer who has a spectacular eye for detail. These images come from a series that he calls Garbage Reign. For me, these characters could fit very easily into a decadent post-apocalyptic scenario, where the “top of the pile” survivors perpetuate the same-old human instincts of social isolation and exclusion through fashion – are you a part of the club? Equally as much this is pure cyberpunk, figures who float through the parties held by one of the corporate dynasties, members of the social elite or grifters waiting for the moment to move in on their mark. Certainly these are images good enough to inspire a myriad of ideas.

In the near future, the Earth is devastated by a viral pathogen. Ten years later, over seventy percent of the human population is dead and only a handful of cities survive intact. Above this, the orbital colonies spin within artificial gravity wells, impartial observers, unaffected by the horrors below. Greed and corruption are left hovering over this bleak and brutalised domain and a cosmic horror is now free to infiltrate the remote abandoned corners of the Earth. Within this mix the lives of two survivors collide: a renegade intelligence agent and a cold-blooded master of violence, shaping events with their virulent hunger for money and a desire to carve their name into this new world. David J Rodger’s trademark unforgiving rendering of harsh reality, and relentless narrative pace, are here in palm-sweating abundance, delivered in a novel that opens up a new universe of conflict, shocking truths and monstrous threats to sanity and life.
