From Testimonio by Simon Head

"I found a front view and exposed the negative - took copious notes of the measurements from camera to subject, and subject position in the ground glass of my view camera - then moved to a side view... ...the relationship between self and environmental motion appeared to be duplicated when looking at this rough photographic information placed in an isometric composition."   

Paltryphotography translation: I took a shot of a building and then moved round the side of it and took another shot.

"(His) photographs take impressive cliff and rock formations to exemplify the development of leading stock exchange indices over the past 20 - 30 years. Like blueprints Najjar suspends the performance charts of such indices as the Dow Jones, Hang Seng, Nikkei and Dax over the mountain peaks, and changes the natural course of mountain borderlines, pairing pure natural beauty with the development of the global financial system."

Exhibited at Bitforms Gallery, New York.

"Says Gibson, "A Photographer once said that beauty in women is endless.
Perhaps it was I who said it. In fact, I remember distinctly having done so...and the thought persists to this day. We stare in the psychological mirror of the human body with a fascination that endures indefinitely. At least art history indicated this to be so. The Willendorf Venus is said to date from 25,000 BC...that is a old enough for me to believe in the subject."

Exhibited at Photo 4, Paris.

Russkie #24 by Anastasia Khoroshilova

*(copyright - Anastasia Khoroshilova)

"Anastasia Khoroshilova's vision as a photographer is characterised by the immediacy of her creative path. This path is indivisible from her personal life, from the drama of her biography, which is connected to the socio-cultural "wanderings" of the artist. Anastasia Khoroshilova encounters the people, things and landscapes in her photography at eye level. She never takes recourse to unusual perspectives, shooting from above or below. Khoroshilova shows us people at eye level, but she does not unmask them; she never gets too close."

Exhibited at Moscow Museum of Modern Art.
