As @prettylights takes over @thefillmorenola for a three night residency this weekend, weāre excited to welcome fans to New Orleans and celebrate the connection between music and visual art
Mortal Machine Gallery is proud to have helped connect Pretty Lights with the visionary work of Arizona based artist and musician @danielmartindiaz whose iconic Chrono became the artwork for A Trip Thru Time Fantastic, the projectās first studio album in over a decade
Known for his intricate visual language combining sacred geometry, alchemy, science, mysticism, and esoteric symbolism, Diaz creates work that feels like a transmission from another dimension. His imagery is a natural companion to the sonic universe of Pretty Lights, extending into the visual identity of their latest musical chapter
For fans visiting New Orleans this weekend, we have something special waiting for you
Mortal Machine Gallery currently has two additional original works by Daniel Martin Diaz, created during the same period and at the same scale as Chrono, available for acquisition
We invite you to stop by the gallery, experience these remarkable works in person, and explore the visual world behind the music
Enjoy the shows, enjoy our city, and come give us a visit!

ORIGIN STORIES | A LOOK BACK
What an incredible experience bringing legendary photographer George Napolitanoās extraordinary archive to Mortal Machine Gallery!
Our inaugural presentation of Origin Stories brought together decades of professional wrestling history, capturing some of the most iconic figures in the sport long before they became household names
We are incredibly grateful to George and his family for trusting us with this remarkable body of work, and to everyone who visited, supported, and helped make this exhibition such a memorable experience
And this is only the beginning.
We look forward to continuing our work with Georgeās historic archive, developing new projects, and introducing these extraordinary photographs to audiences far beyond New Orleans
NEXT STOP: @inscopeart
This December, weāll bring an expanded presentation of Origin Stories to Miami Art Week at INSCOPE Miami, introducing Georgeās work to an international audience of collectors, curators, and art enthusiasts
In the meantime, the complete collection remains available to view and purchase at mortalmachinenola.com, and a selection of photographs is currently on display in our showroom at 940 Royal Street, New Orleans
A huge thank you to @opusmercury for putting together this fantastic recap of our opening exhibition!
Hereās to preserving history, celebrating the people who documented it, and the exciting road ahead.

The response to āOrigin Storiesā has been incredible and seeing people connect emotionally with these photographs has reinforced what we believed from the very beginning, this archive is something truly special
It has been an absolute honor to spend this weekend with George and his family. Beyond the remarkable photographs, weāve had the privilege of getting to know a genuinely kind, humble, and generous human being whose work quietly documented one of the most influential eras in popular culture
Thank you, George, for trusting @mortalmachinegallery with your lifeās work. This exhibition is only the beginning
Weāre already looking ahead to @inscopeart_ where weāll expand this project, while continuing our mission to introduce Georgeās extraordinary archive to new audiences and establish it as the significant body of documentary photography it deserves to be
To everyone who has visited, shared the exhibition, or simply spent time with these images, thank you. Your enthusiasm has made this opening weekend unforgettable
The collection is on view at 940 Royal through Tuesday or you can view in now at mortalmachinenola.com

For the 11th year in a row, Iāve spent the last four long, hard months fighting like hell through the dead New Orleans summer season
Busy season is finally here, and now itās time to shift into high gear. Weāve got alot of catching up to do while preparing to execute the largest exhibition weāve ever done in the first week of December @inscopeart_
Over the last four months, Iāve gone deeper into organizing the business, working weekly with a bookkeeper to build a stronger foundation for our future. Iāve cut my drinking down to barely two or three cocktails a week, which for new orleans is wild. Iāve completely overhauled my diet. I train til failure for four or five days a week under the programs of @jayferruggia
I spend 15ā20 minutes meditating in a sauna several days a week to manage anxiety. At least two or three days a week, I visit St. Louis Cathedral to meditate and find a quiet space. Five or six evenings a week, I run beside the Mississippi River around sunset. Iāve corrected my sleep schedule and now get seven or eight hours of sleep most nights. All of this ive done for the gallery and our artists
In previous summers, the pressure would send me spiraling into panic attacks and exhaustion. This year, I made it through without a single collapse. And tonight reminded me why that matters
I just got back from WWEās Money in the Bank, and my heart is so fucking full. Thank you @onlocationexp for treating us so well, and huge gratitude to @wwe Everyone from the wrestlers to the ringside staff were kind, welcoming, cool as hell
For a few hours⦠all the noise in my head went quiet and I felt something i rarely am allowed to feel. Happiness. Joy. Weightlessness. I needed that more than you know
I love wrestling so much, and tonight I somehow loved it even more. If @wwe is ever hiring, im applying. The art world may have me, but Iām not sure it always deserves or appreciates me and all that i give to it
This world is heavy. We all carry burdens, but I hope each of us has something that brings us this kind of joy. These precious feelings can transform the fight with our shadows from a nightmare into a dream
Tonight. For a rare moment. I am happy

Tonight we open ORIGIN STORIES, a pop-up exhibition of legendary wrestling photographer George Napolitano, whose camera documented the people behind the personas long before many of them became household names
This isnāt just an exhibition about professional wrestling. Itās about history, culture, photography, and the moments before legends became legends
From The Undertaker with Paul Heyman years before the Deadman arrived in WWE, to The Rock before global superstardom, Triple H as Terra Ryzing, CM Punk deep in thought in a stairwell before an ROH match, a young Dominik Mysterio watching his father win his custody from Wddie Guerrero, Steve Austin, Roddy Piper, AndrĆ© the Giant, and so many more. These are photographs that simply couldnāt be made today
With WWEās Money in the Bank bringing the wrestling world to New Orleans this weekend, it felt like the perfect time to share this remarkable archive with fans, collectors, and photographers alike. If youāre in town, Iād love for you to see this show
ORIGIN STORIES

Gaze, 2025
Ceramic, cold finish
13.5 Ć 4.5 Ć 4 in.
Tokyo-born artist Erika Sanada creates beautifully uncanny creatures inhabiting a world somewhere between innocence and unease. Her sculptures explore relationships that can feel nurturing, vulnerable, protective and occasionally sinister.
For Sanada, these creatures are deeply personal. A self-described perpetually worried soul, she uses her work to confront the darker side of her nature while giving physical form to sensitivities shaped by experiences in her youth. The result is a strange emotional vocabulary of soft colors, delicate surfaces, watchful eyes, and creatures that seem to need one another.
Gaze joins our upcoming group exhibition VEIL SEASON, opening next Friday, October 16 at Mortal Machine Gallery.
Featuring works by Erika Sanada, Calvin Ma, Rebecca Chaperon, Caitlin Hackett, Gerlanda di Francia, and Louis Braquet.
VEIL SEASON
Friday, October 16
7ā10 PM
Mortal Machine Gallery
940 Royal Street
New Orleans
On view through November 6.
Collectors interested in Gaze or requesting a preview of available works may contact the gallery directly
