Kohei Yoshiyuki

Kohei constructed a rather discreet flash to photograph Japanese peeping toms in the early 70's. He used infrared film to make images under low light conditions. The resulting images are strange and disturbing. These photographs are not staged and they are made in public parks where lovers go to be alone and perhaps to be a part of this strange process of performance.

Nic Nicosia

He, along with people such as Jeff Wall and DiCorcia, began the "staged " genre way back. His images are humorous and full of angst at the same time. Using a large format camera , he staged his photos to look like documentary pictures. Click on the pics to see the larger versions





Yeondoo Jung's images are based on the artist's daughter's drawings.Great collaborative project and the scale of the project is impressive
