«Metsästä (From The Woods) is a simply but beautifully executed package for a fairytale-like body of work by Finnish-educated, Swiss photographer Anne Golaz. The work lures the viewer into a world that vacillates between the everyday and the extraordinary and tilts towards the primeval. This classic subject — the bloodlust of the hunt and the traditional tensions between humankind and nature — is treated with both drama and matter-of-factness.» |

Take a trip into the fantastic and foreboding worlds of 32 artists from opposite sides of the globe. From oblique takes on portraiture and collage to snapshots of society at its best and worst, these far reaching photographic practices question what time means to look, catch or construct images for the 21st century. A fleeting glimpse into the life and times of both countries and beyond, Hijacked 3 disrupts the way the viewer looks at an image. A bold reinvention of the 'photo book' featuring cutting-edge photography from Australia and the United Kingdom. |

Peter Puklus is an example of a modern documentary author. Questions of an involved or not involved view, an approach based on revealing beauty, or rather importance of daily, even banal things — all that was solved before. The generation of Puklus can now focus on the complexity of documentary work. Everything around can be a subject. The Intimacy series contains several chapters systematically researching different aspects of this topic — a man as a source of the intimacy feeling, an inhabited interior, still-lives as traces of living. However, this almost scientific approach does not stop here. A single picture or one medium is not enough. Some photographs were made on the basis of drawings and are accompanied by videos. The whole series gains even deeper insight in the topic and literally one more dimension. (Zuzana Lapitková) |
