Donovan Wylie & Jim Goldberg: Candy & A Good and Spacious Land Interview

“I had this image that the Colt ’45 was made in, say, Colorado, but no, it was made in Connecticut to conquer Colorado, to win the West. So that opened up a way of looking at American history that I wanted to pursue: ideas of westward expansion and the architectural structures of the gun factories with their strong pillars to hold all the machinery and gear; that talked about weight, and Empire. But the factories were all in ruins and I couldn’t work with that, visually”. –Donovan Wylie

Klaus Pichler: This Will Change Your Life Forever Interview

“Nevertheless, the current submission of spirituality under the rules of the capitalist market, forced by an armada of suppliers, is a development, which has he potential to irreversibly transform questions of belief into marketable services and tools.”

Nikolas Ventourakis Interview: Misconceptions and Assumptions

“One form of defense from this snobbism was to create a sort of puritanism within photography – a little village kind of mentality. Our things, our games. Let’s not engage with the outer world as they are mean to us.”

Stephen Gill: Extricating the Diurnal Impulse

“These experiences bear the uncanny weight of dissonance before visualization-the morass of the hidden nexus of a world that cannot be controlled the same as it is within the ruminating experience of daylight.”

“On a functional level, and trying to remove myself from the subjects involved, what “Billie” does besides pull on your emotions is to punish photography in a small way…”

Bertien Van Manen: The Unexacting Memory of Wolves

“The trajectory of memory in its successes and failures and the distance from which these punctuating images within are dissolved is an important and very difficult tool to employ post-event.”

Thomas Nolf Interview: Archaeology, Nationhood, Economy, Fantasy

“From my sociological perspective I don’t believe in true science, because science always serves a greater goal”

Kensuke Koike & Thomas Sauvin: No Cut Left to Chance

“So, when you look at these images, you have to understand the basic principal of the work, but also a sort of mythical sacred geometric ability to render form within an existing image that which has been removed with an exactitude of skill much above that which most people are able.”

Kristina Jurotschkin: Transgressing the Inherent Symbolic

“From Lascaux forward, pictograms and other forms of cryptographs illuminated millennia of human beings who traversed their path well after execution and were understood as root forms of relative experience in image”

Nancy Rexroth: Iowa, A Dream State Not Your Own

“Iowa as book itself harbors this moored kingdom previously mentioned as a state of internal configuration and a series of fluid and potential possible memories prescribed for others. It is an evocation of sorts.”

Gordon Parks: Collected Works of an Alien Afloat In Genius

Gordon Parks was first described to me as a renaissance man for his enduring and unfailing talent behind a lens. I think in those terms adding to this moniker Renaissance Alien would not be incorrect. There are certain people in this world in which there is no other possible recourse but to name […]
