"The images in this book are of small porcelain portraits affixed to headstones in cemeteries in China, worn away by the passage of time and the ravages of weather. Vince Aletti says that, in aggregate, Ad Infinitum “is about the fugitive nature of portraiture, the impossibility of creating a final likeness. I just love looking at anonymous faces. Most of them are less here than gone, evoking thoughts of how we try, unsuccessfully, to fix people’s images in our minds. The book is beautifully and very simply designed, with the images given generous borders on pages that are evenly divided between black and white. It’s a simple yet lovely book.”

"I often ponder life and death. I decompose the pieces, dismantle elements in an attempt to rationally analyse them and then recompose and reconstruct the fragments, only to end up with a different equation each time. You need the right place to reflect and Greenland was that place for me. Life and death, black and white, opposing dichotomies revealing all their ruthlessness. In Greenland nature takes possession of rationality and gives a meaning to daily life. Greenland narrates a deafening silence. A voice whispering indefinable and inscrutable emotions. In Greenland one doesn’t live, at best one survives."

"Optical Soliloquy. Removed from sight but subjected to the intensity of visibility. This paradox could serve as an introduction into Michel Mazzoni’s world. Everything seems to have disappeared there; beings leave only traces of their passage, or when they do appear, the concealment of the—always female—faces in this feigned indifference provides the screen onto which desire can be projected. This is as much a journey of initiation as it is an escape into memory, with its images of transcursion and what is traversed: a path, corridor, footpath, an opening, stairs, gaps and roads. They are always mental images, in black and iridescent, sometimes even blinding white—images which come to us after an effort, such as a race or the search for oneself."

"While still an art student, Liam worked as an assistant for Amsterdam gallery Annet Gelink. During his work shifts at Frieze Art Fair, he couldn't help noticing the girl working at the booth right in front of his. The result is a collection of images that reflect the activity taking place at the booths during such an art fair, besides being a voyeuristic self-portrait of the artist himself—a reflection from the booth in front. With a text by gallerist Annet Gelink (Liam's employer back then), titled 'Never ask an artist to be your gallery assistant'."

"‘Direction of Travel’ documents a landscape still in transition on the periphery of London’s Olympic Park. Using photographs and found ephemera from the streets of east London, the body of work questions the commonly accepted narrative and seeks to distance itself from the communal endorphins supplied by the transitory Olympic spectacle. It attempts to grapple with the everyday and the commonplace, and explores the complex relationship between the landscape and its inhabitants during a time of radical change."

"State of Mind is a photographic series, and ultimately a book, about the individual quality of mysterious strangers. The images were captured over a period of several years traveling in countries such as Japan, Portugal, Hungary, Malaysia, Spain, South-Korea, Romania, Russia, Taiwan - and what emerged is a visual narrative on the poetic quality of individuality and what it means to be lost in thoughts.  The State of Mind series is about the “thinking moments” and the uncertain atmosphere surrounding the people and places encountered on the way."

Inspired by the thoughts of Thomas Kuhn the artist suggest that what we think we know might just be turned up side down when we least expect it."

The images tell a story without words nor script that resambles more to poetry than to narrative. A poetics where pleasure, love, pain, decadence and death twist together with the subjects and the landscape on the stage of life itself".

"South Sound is the outcome of several months spent in a small cabin built in 1954 on Puget Sound by an Anglican minster & unorthodox Jungian psychologist. Drawing upon old snapshots & books she found in the cabin, photographer Tarrah Krajnak has created juxtapositions that are meant to be suggestive rather than expository. Relying on the formal and material qualities of the objects within them as well as their mysterious textual and photographic contents, her photographs elicit responses ranging from synthetic story-making to mute, impassable aporia."
