Francesca Catastini: Petrus
Petrus reflects on a certain rhetoric of masculinity in Western culture. It is about the human drive to define ourselves and the world through a definite form. Form is never stable though. It is the ever-changing result of a never-ending tension between forces pushing from within and pressures coming from...
Susana Girón: 90 Varas

Julien Coquentin: Tropics
He is an old man whose body I wash every morning. A room without soul, silence, an island. I do not know if he speaks my language, Mr. Yu was born in China. He smiles at me from time to time and seems to understand my simple orders. His wife...
Jillian Freyer: 42 Wayne
Says Jillian: These images work to explore the notion of experience as touch and emotional and physical endurance performed through female bodies. Witnessed events, staged performances and instinct serve as a way to seek new intimacies between me and my subjects. Texture and surface become an important role in their...
