Gosha Rubchinskiy Untitled

Mayumi Hosokura Kazan

Florian van Roekel makes precise and telling observations at a micro-sociological level. By opting for the stereotypical, anonymous office, Van Roekel portrays the familiar and vonformist behaviour of people confined to such spaces.

Gosha Rubchinskiy’s immediate circle of friends are the subject of his raw blackand-white photography. He mounts his portraits on top of colour photographs of traditional Russian landscape, which provide a framework of time and place.

The poetic content of Mayumi ­Hosokura’s images testifies to her great visual sensi­ tivity and responsiveness. Time, transience and beauty merge with gravitas and permanence. Her work draws the viewer into a game of associations.

Jessica Eaton Cubes for Albers and LeWitt

Alessandro Imbriaco Angela’s Garden

Ivor Prickett Days of Anger

The images Jessica Eaton conjures up are purely and simply photographs. Inspired by Joseph Albers’ colour theory, Eaton makes several exposures rendering up colours unconnected to any solid object.

Alessandro Imbriaco portrays a swampy rural area outside Rome that has ­become home to many illegal migrants who have nowhere else to go. Angela’s Garden is a dark photographic document showing migrants living in the twilight.

In a remarkably poetic fashion, Ivor ­Prickett manages to portray the recent protests in Egypt. His images are quite distinct from the usual photo­journalistic reportage; they show people waiting in tense anticipation.

Alberto Salván Zulueta Views By setting shots of urban, modern Japan against images of scenic, traditional Japan Alberto Salván Zulueta addresses the essential divide in modern Japanese society. The essence of his diptyches lies in the overlap.
