EMMANUEL MACCHIA AND VALENTIN CAMPAGNE
In LUKAS DHONT’s acclaimed 2026 film Coward, EMMANUEL MACCHIA and VALENTIN CAMPAGNE inhabit a world where love and war, tenderness and violence exist in close proximity. As PIERRE and FRANCIS, two young men drawn to one another amid the uncertainty of World War I conflict, they bring a striking intimacy to the screen — one shaped by instinct, vulnerability and trust. Their chemistry gives the film much of its emotional charge, while their performances reveal two distinct approaches to the art of inhabiting a character.
NATURE
A change in light. The movement of water. The first signs of a new season. Nature is in a constant state of transformation. In a culture defined by immediacy, it offers something increasingly rare: patience. It unfolds at its own pace, reminding us that growth, change, and beauty cannot always be hurried. Its influence can be found everywhere. In the silhouettes we wear. in the spaces we inhabit. In the colours, textures, and forms that shape our visual language. This issue celebrates the enduring relationship between the natural world and creative expression. The artists who interpret it. The designers who borrow from it. The image-makers that capture it. To engage with nature is to engage with something both timeless and constantly changing - a paradox that has fascinated humanity for generations. A source of wonder and endless complexity.
The more closely we look, the more there is to see. Welcome to Numéro Netherlands #15 Nature.
