POV Forward Thinking Review of the Year Jenny Brewer Olivia Hingley Ellis Tree Elizabeth Goodspeed Liz Gorny Extra Search photographer Melissa Schriek conceives of her role as that of a “photographic choreographer” creating staged compositions Melissa pays acute attention to the physicality of her subjects looking for the sculptural qualities in people and objects alike Having graduated from her photography studies at the Royal Academy of Arts last year Melissa has cultivated what she refers to as a “subtle strangeness” which exists “between fiction and fact” and lies at the heart of her photographs Melissa’s practice constantly blurs this distinction between choreography and spontaneity that typically differentiates studio or editorial photography from street or documentary photography As she says: “Some of the images I make are found exactly the way I portray them and others are totally staged I enjoy looking for that border between documentary and fictional photography I actually studied documentary photography I realised I could make my own images instead of merely documenting this felt like a way to make an image mine – a way of showing how I perceive the world Photography fascinates me when I can see the world in a completely different way because of the eyes of the photographer I have no interest in the ‘truth’; I’m interested in someone’s personal truth.” Melissa is investigating her compulsion to curate bodily configurations She states: “I often try to find their limits when I position people and I wonder why I feel the need to sculpt their body Why do I want to mould it together with the space Maybe I started the project to understand the core of my work better to understand my way of looking at the world.” There is a subtle humour in the photographs which make use of the absurd comedy that arises from incongruous behaviour in public spaces A figure bends over a bollard in a residential street; two people sitting on a curb mirror one another in an overextended backward bend; a man folds his body over a gate as if hung up to dry; a woman leans her head purposefully against a wall Melissa Schriek: A Study of Uncomfortable Positions Melissa says: “The city is constantly moving and interrupting the mundane but daily routines have put a blindfold over our eyes I explore the interruptions of everyday life and how the urban environment can be perceived with both eyes and body The street scenes I photograph are somewhere between truth and fiction – sometimes I found the situation The inspiration for the street scenes came by observing how the choreography of the streets work how do we move our body while we walk in a busy street?” Describing how she creates her compositions Melissa tells us: “When I want to make a staged image I first test out the position I want the model to be in myself I think it’s necessary to see how a position ‘feels’ Because I can’t draw – I’m really bad at it – I write out the positions I have in mind something like: ‘Blonde girl with two stones under her bent neck arms twisted to the right side.’ I’ve actually thought about incorporating these notes into A Study of Uncomfortable Positions.” Because of the often strenuous nature of these positions Melissa has “a special interest in dancers and people who are very physical I feel like dancers understand me very easily and also broaden my limits.” In spite of the bodily discomfort they convey there is also a pleasing aspect to Melissa’s photographs achieved by the visually gratifying merging of people with the shape of their surrounding The figures fit themselves into and among their physical environments so that the body becomes an element in the scenery Melissa departs from portrait photography’s tendency to foreground the emotive and characterful aspects of the human subject This departure is heightened by the fact that Melissa’s figures rarely show their faces while the sculptural effect and emphasis on form that this produces is integral to Melissa’s photographs of bodily arrangements saying: “I wonder why I have the need to hide faces I think I’m scared of faces because I don’t know what to do with that direct confrontation I also feel like I can’t make a face mine – it already belongs to somebody I have been making more portraits where faces are visible I think it’s very important to challenge myself to do things I avoid.” Melissa’s great strength as a photographer is her curiosity – her use of photography as a space to explore and challenge her own perceptions in the way the curtains of my neighbours slowly move in the wind books and objects,” Melissa interrogates her optic and tactile relationship to the things around her and shows us a world that is marked with her unique brand of “subtle strangeness” Further Infowww.melissaschriek.cargo.site Rowe Irvin Rowe joined It’s Nice That in the summer of 2019 as an editorial assistant mainly on hugely talented artists and photographers Fancy a bit of It's Nice That in your inbox Sign up to our newsletters and we'll keep you in the loop with everything good going on in the creative world Instagram TikTok LinkedIn Facebook Twitter Pinterest About Careers at It’s Nice That Privacy Policy Insights Residence Creative Lives in Progress If You Could Jobs © It’s Nice That 2024 · Nice Face Logo © It’s Nice That www.melissaschriek.cargo.site In “experimenting with the body and space” Resistance is an exhibition conceived by acclaimed artist and filmmaker Steve McQueen and curated in collaboration with the Turner’s director Clarrie Wallis We spoke to Clarrie about how photography has shaped protest The photographer Ana Flores joined us at April’s Nicer Tuesdays to talk the crowd through her career to date from going with her gut and leaving a background in law to study fashion photography rediscovering her Peruvian roots along the way Ana took us through the process behind some of the projects that have led her to document the indigenous women of her birthplace with a focus on adornment The photographer explores masculinity within domestic spaces in Taiwan and the UK blurring the lines between performance and documentary Following the release of his debut book, New York Nico’s Guide to NYC the director and documentary filmmaker Nicolas Heller sat down with our US editor at large Elizabeth Goodspeed to discuss the origins of his widely loved Instagram page his career in filmmaking thus far and why he’s intent on capturing the city’s most charismatic characters About Contact Advertising Opportunities Newsletters Insights + Opinion Creatives + Projects Advice + Resources Culture + Lifestyle Nicer Tuesdays The View From...

Reading"In Melissa Schriek’s new..." best friends hang (we mean really hang) outActing as a third wheel throughout the project the photographer captures female friendships in all their varying dynamics When we came across some of the photos from Melissa Schriek’s new book Ode we initially thought it was a documentation of some sort of duo yoga or callisthenics The subjects are found doing backbends and hanging from railings in what has to be the perfect conditions for a head rush amidst all the playing and often synchronised movement a lesser documented theme is at the heart of the photographer’s unconventional series – female friendship Melissa first came to photography through her father whose passion has made a lasting impression on her throughout the years “He often emphasised the importance of capturing memories for posterity,” she tells us He then gifted her a camera for a school trip at just eight years old and was so amazed by the results that he decided it was time for a permanent one The photographer emphasises the following years as being “truly transformative,” as her camera often saved her from boredom acting as a gateway to exploring beyond her comfort zone I’ve lived my life through the lens of a camera I often find myself yearning for new places and contemplating the idea of living and documenting in different locations a camera represents a sense of home that transcends physical spaces,” she adds Melissa’s creative pursuits started within the worlds of dance and gymnastics Ode can be seen as a continuation of her love for exploring gestures childhood games come back to mind – falling back as your confidant catches you and hand-clapping games that create a mirror between two friends “I firmly believe that within relationships we all adopt distinct roles and these roles can evolve depending on the individuals and the circumstances,” she tells us Heavily relying on the language of the body to express these themes she observed the natural movements of the women featured throughout before amplifying and reinterpreting their actions to convey all that she sees in their friendship “I believe it all serves as a powerful visual metaphor for the essence of their relationships.” Melissa Schriek: Ode (Copyright © Melissa Schriek One of the most tranquil photographs in Ode has to be of the two friends laying on the beach it is the calm that we are seeing amidst a storm Melissa and the friends decided to embrace the weather and one of the friends “naturally” became protective laying on top of the other to shield them from the elements Melissa attributes much of these natural circumstances to the fact that she worked with strangers “The photoshoots ranged from 30 minutes to a couple of hours we engaged in lengthy discussions about the significance of female connection while other times we were more nonverbal,” she tells us “There is something liberating about photographing people you don’t know very well Personally I enjoy when a relationship is built through photography Always questioning her position as a documenter – especially when documenting strangers’ relationships – Melissa can often be found thinking about the balance between her interpretation and authentic representations “Can we ever truly capture an unadulterated truth Is that even what I am looking for?” In the end though her portrayal of female friendship is at a perfect equilibrium between her own truth and the reality of the women photographed which is perhaps a testament to all her conversations and studying throughout with hopes to pivot into directing in the near future we have no doubt that Melissa will continue to show us just how important the third wheel can be Ode is published by Guest Editions and available

Biology to Molecular Diagnostics Qiagen was established in 1984 in Dusseldorf The company initially focused on molecular biology with its Plasmid-Kit which reduced plasmid preparation time from a few days to two hours a benchtop workstation to automate the purification of RNA more than 250,000 researchers and lab specialists in the United States use Qiagen products and 2 million Qiagen assays yearly are processed by drug companies Qiagen products are used in the research and development of 2,000 new drugs and in 1,000 clinical trials Qiagen has more than half a million customers Qiagen sells more than 500 products for pre-analytical preparation of biological samples and instruments to automate entire work flows The company’s customers include molecular diagnostic laboratories pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies Qiagen’s assay technologies include a broad panel of molecular diagnostic tests such as the digene HPV Test for identifying high-risk types of human papilloma virus (HPV) Qiagen expanded its portfolio from sample-preparation kits to molecular diagnostic detection kits “It was a natural extension of our relationship with customers If you provide them with kits to isolate a virus from blood the next step is to provide assays and reagents to identify the virus,” says Ulrich Schriek Qiagen develops assays and biomarkers for infectious diseases “Our goal is to develop the broadest portfolio of assays,” says Dr A key workhorse to meet that goal was introduced in 2009—the QIAsymphony SP/AS instruments and the Rotor-Gene Q (RGQ) cycler This integrated system automates sample preparation and work flows The QIAsymphony AS is ideal for laboratories that perform complex PCR-based molecular testing daily Nucleic acids are purified on the QIAsymphony SP instrument and then the samples are transferred to the QIAsymphony AS module Commercial assays and laboratory-developed tests can be combined with the QIAsymphony RGQ system The Rotor-Gene Q cycler carries out PCR and data analysis Among its newest acquisitions is Cellestis whose premolecular testing platform detects infectious diseases that lie latent in the body and fungi hide in the body and are present at such low levels that traditional DNA- and RNA-based tests cannot detect them which infects millions of people worldwide QuantiFERON identifies patients at risk for tuberculosis The test uses whole blood samples and amplifies molecular analytes to provide information about a specific reaction of the immune system A QuantiFERON test for cytomegalovirus is currently being developed and other tests will follow The QuantiFERON TB test is approved for in vitro diagnostic use in the United States QuantiFERON is a leading in vitro diagnostic tube test based on the activity of cell-mediated functions of the immune system People exposed to infectious diseases have specific T-cell lymphocytes that maintain an immunological memory for disease-related antigens When a disease antigen is added to blood collected from a primed person antigen-specific effector T cells rapidly release the cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) The QuantiFERON technology is based on stimulation of effector T cells in whole blood with a specific antigen and measuring levels of IFN-γ in plasma QuantiFERON complements Qiagen’s portfolio of molecular diagnostics Patients identified through QuantiFERON-based tests as being at risk for a disease can be monitored with corresponding DNA- and RNA-based molecular diagnostics to assess disease activity and guide treatment decisions “It’s a very important step for us to go beyond the sensitivity of molecular testing,” says Dr The QIAsymphony was designed for laboratories that perform complex PCR-based molecular testing daily providing access to biomarkers related to various blood cancers all other products address solid tumor types like metastatic colon cancer and non-small-cell lung cancer Now with Ipsogen we can look at cancer in blood cells,” notes Dr Ipsogen’s assays are based on the same PCR quantitative technology used by Qiagen in many of its own assays This enables a smooth and rapid transfer of Ipsogen’s products onto Qiagen’s QIAsymphony RGQ system Ipsogen provides 80 tests divided into four assay families that are designed to diagnose and monitor BCR-ABL (chronic myeloid leukemia) JAK2 V617F (various myeloproliferative diseases) The top-selling group involves molecular assays for mutations of the JAK2 (Janus kinase 2) gene which is associated with various blood cancers Qiagen acquired a strategic stake in Alacris Theranostics a German start-up company founded by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics and an IT infrastructure to predict therapies and treatments based on sequence data from a patient’s tumor addresses a critical bottleneck in personalized medicine solutions The technology identifies biomarkers from a vast array of genetic data to guide treatment decisions The platform also creates biomarker subsets to stratify patient populations for clinical trials Biomarkers such as nucleic acids can be formatted into real-time PCR-based assays that Qiagen will commercialize through its pharmaceutical development assay portfolio or its Therascreen® molecular diagnostics portfolio “Through our partnership with Alacris we will channel new kinds of biomarkers into our molecular diagnostic pipeline,” says Dr to expand the QIAsymphony-based personalized healthcare portfolio Copyright © 2025 Sage Publications or its affiliates

Lashing out violently after bouts of heavy drinking had become a pattern for Killiktee. That included trying to drown a woman in the Ottawa River and throwing baseball-sized rocks at the man who tried to resuscitate her victim, kicking her own two-year-old daughter off the bed so she’d fall on her head and then clawing and kicking her spouse in the face after he rescued the child and called 911, according to prosecutors. Then there were the times when Killiktee took swings at strangers on Besserer Street and later struck a man in the face on Montreal Road before attacking another nearby woman. So, when Lahey called Killiktee a whore and a slut and slapped her in the head in an alley behind the Shepherd’s of Good Hope on July 8, 2009, an enraged Killiktee attacked. It was over in seconds and all caught on video. Even as the 44-year-old Lahey lay prone and motionless on the ground, Killiktee tried to get at her. Only a witness who rushed to Lahey’s aid was able to hold Killiktee back. Lahey died in hospital nearly four months later. Killiktee pleaded guilty to manslaughter in June. Now Killiktee should be sentenced to 10 to 12 years in prison for the “extreme and vicious violence” she unleashed, prosecutor Suzanne Schriek argued Sept. 27. But Killiktee’s lawyer said alcohol was a way of life for the 28-year-old Inuit woman from Cape Dorset, Nunavut. Her alcohol addiction was the same as that of her parents. She was abused as a child, emotionally, physically and sexually, like so many other members of Canada’s aboriginal communities, Oliver Abergel said. Less than a month before the attack on Lahey, Killiktee had lost triplets to a miscarriage and her brother to suicide, Abergel said. Her circumstances and background made her the most traumatized of the 500 clients who had ever been treated by counsellors at an Inuit healing centre, Abergel added. Killiktee’s past needed to be considered during sentencing, Abergel argued. “Being Inuit is not a free pass to a lower sentence,” said Abergel, who argued that Killiktee should be sentenced to a further two years in the penitentiary on top of the two-forone credit she should receive for the nearly two years and three months she had already spent behind bars. “That being said, her Inuit background and the abuse and the tragedy she has suffered in her life go into the mix of deciding what to do with her.” For members of Lahey’s grieving family, though, Killiktee’s problem with alcohol was nothing more than an excuse for an “inhumane beating” that ultimately robbed their sister of her life in a Burlington hospital months later. “This is someone with a history of assault charges on her record and is using alcohol as an excuse for her ridiculous beating on my sister’s head with her foot,” Lahey’s sister, Darlene Mitchell, wrote to the court. Lahey could no longer talk, walk or feed herself as a result of head injuries suffered in the attack, and she died after coming down with pneumonia. Lahey, who also had problems with alcohol, was suffering from terminal liver disease at the time of the attack. “My sister was not perfect and had her share of struggles,” said another sister, Laura Bailey. “She didn’t deserve to die so young, especially in the brutal, tragic way.” Abergel agreed there was no excuse for what Killiktee did. The attack, he said, was “nasty, brutish and short.” However, once Killiktee calmed down, she tended to Lahey, touching her head and waited for the ambulance. Ontario Superior Court Justice Lynn Ratushny is expected to sentence Killiktee on Oct. 20. Use this form to request a PDF of Nunatsiaq News to be sent to you every week on Friday.
