Vanguard Union Press is an artistic reflection platform founded by Olivia Wünsche, born from a desire to slow down our gaze on the figures shaping contemporary creation. Each issue focuses on a single subject, creating living monographs infused with a strong trust between the author and her interviewee, blending photographs and interviews to reveal both the work and the person behind it. In an editorial landscape saturated with fast images and short formats, Vanguard Union Press champions a slow temporality, a proximity built with patience, and an uncompromising standard of sincerity that brings this publication as close to a document as it is to a work of art.
This second issue is dedicated to Hania Rani, a composer, pianist, and vocalist whose genre-bending music draws from classical, jazz, and electronic influences. Born in Gdańsk, Poland, and currently based in London,Rani has established herself on the international scene with a series of evocative albums, including Esja,Home, Ghosts, and Nostalgia. She has performed on some of the world's most prestigious stages, including the Sydney Opera House, the Berlin Philharmonic, Salle Pleyel, the Barbican Centre, and the Palau de la Música. Her performances for platforms like ARTE, Cercle, and NPR's Tiny Desk have reached millions of people, confirming her place as a transformative figure in contemporary music.
