“I wanted the series to feel like entering a darkroom: you can’t see the faces of the people around you,” says the Berlin-based photographer of his corporeal new images featured in The BitterSweet Review
’s photographs, queer noctural activities – dance, sex and play – all prevail. In the Greek-born, Berlin-based photographer’s images of young people wrapped in reverie, the borders between bodies wane.
Playful, mischievous or even precarious, the models’ gestures allude to a familiar letting go under nightclub lights or acts of roughhousing that carve their way into sex – and for the artist, these blink-and-you-miss-it moments are those that brim with potential and precision: “What looks like a fleeting moment can actually be a carefully constructed image and I think that this illusion is a beautiful thing about photography.
While the forms vary – from romantic to intense – they unite in their subjects’ anonymity. Unlike most of Rennt’s work in fine art and editorial, the photographs inomit the models’ faces. Hiding their gaze from ours, they assume the power of a potential, of being anyone and no one at the same time. The bodies ask us to invest in their wholeness in posture and their commitment to contort and interlock.
“But I wanted the series to feel like entering a darkroom: you can’t see the faces of the people around you, but it’s also of less importance, experiencing their bodies is what you are there for.”While darkness lives outside Rennt’s lens in these images, the Berlin nightlife has changed the route of his photographic practice.
“Nightlife has been a big part of my work from early on, because nightlife is a big part of my life in Berlin; the experiences the city offers and the openness of its people are unique,”“I don’t have formal training as a photographer and doubt I would have had the urge to become one had I been living elsewhere.”

Parameters associated with successful weaning of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a systematic review - Critical CarePurpose Veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be used to restore organ perfusion in patients with cardiogenic shock until native heart recovery occurs. It may be challenging, however, to determine when patients can be weaned successfully from ECMO—surviving without requiring further mechanical support or heart transplant. We aimed to systematically review the medical literature to determine the biomarkers, hemodynamic and echocardiographic parameters associated with successful weaning of VA-ECMO in adults with cardiogenic shock and to present an evidence-based weaning algorithm incorporating key findings. Method We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, ProQuest, Google Scholars, Web of Science and the Grey literature for pertinent original research reports. We excluded studies limited to extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) as the neurological prognosis may significantly alter the decision-making process surrounding the device removal in this patient population. Studies with a mixed population of VA-ECMO for cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest were included. We excluded studies limited to patients in which ECMO was only used as a bridge to VAD or heart transplant, as such patients are, by definition, never “successfully weaned.” We used the Risk of Bias Assessment tool for Non-Randomized Studies. The study was registered on the International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO CRD42020178641). Results We screened 14,578 records and included 47 that met our pre-specified criteria. Signs of lower initial severity of shock and myocardial injury, early recovery of systemic perfusion, left and right ventricular recovery, hemodynamic and echocardiographic stability during flow reduction trial and/or pump-controlled retrograde trial off predicted successful weaning. The most widely used parameter was the left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral, an indicator of stroke volume. Most studies had a mode
