Mineo Mizuno

Born in the Gifu Prefecture, Japan, currently living in Brooklyn (US). Mineo Mizuno's work 'moss' interacts with nature, the ceramic work becomes a whole new world, a micro cosmos. 'Coexistence' Mineo calls his installations, these little green islands are living things. Changing with age and atmosphere, a symbiosis between stone and moss - an alliance between nature and man.

'Waterdrop' series gives you a complete different feeling. Mineo Mizuno created the before the 'Moss' series, starting from the same pebble-like shape.

Idris Khan

Idris Khan creates big multi-layered prints, often using existing photographs, postcards, paintings or books. Each layer is visible and adds to the eery feeling. He reinvents the existing image, adding his own personal touch. It might look like a drawing, as it has the same handmade feel to it. Idris Khan was born in Great Britain.
Idris Khan: "Every layer is an effect that needs to be created. All the scans are done at 100% and then I choose the amount of opacity I wish to have with every layer. Each layer is a fallible human decision. When I layer each scan, there is a decision made as to what I want to stay and what has to disappear. This process allows me to cut out the camera completely." Read more here.

David Birkin

David Birkin (1977) studied anthropology at Oxford University and fine art at the Slade.  Currently on a fellowship with the Whitney Museum’s Independent Study Program, he is based between New York and London. Coming from a family of artists and married to performance artist Eloise Fornieles. He even appeared in two episodes of Star Trek; the next generation.

These works from the series "Confessions" were taken between 2007 and 2011.
David Birkin; "sitters were invited to confess a secret they had never previously revealed, while left alone in a room facing a camera. When they felt ready, they opened the shutter, and when they were finished they closed it again, so that each photograph’s exposure was determined by the length of time its subject chose to speak.  In the absence of any audio recording equipment, the sitters' confessions are documented without revealing their specific content."
All prints are C-type / gelatin silver prints; 60 x 40 inches. Quite impressive. The intimate poses , movement and deep black parts make you wonder, what is the content of their confession.... even more,  what would your own image look like.
