After being busy with the exhibition I had to go to Australia and Singapore on an assignment. Came back and was hit with a flu for 1 week. Today I'm feeling better and I 'm rushing this package to you may be you can use it. 

The titles of my work are as follows. 
1. ONE NIGHT AT THE THEATER.

TRENDS in PHOTOGRAPHY - Tim BESSERER (Germany)

Tim Besserer Grafenhaus Herrnhaag
(text is from 2000)

The trend, or rather novelty here is large inkjet printing. With this relatively new technique it has become possible to make huge prints even from 35mm negatives. Tim Besserer used it to make his exhibition in ‘Grafenhaus Herrnhaag’

Tim BESSERER invitation to exhibition Grafenhaus
THE ARCHETYPAL FLUX
Reflections on ‘Magic Moments' Zones of transition, black and white, parallel, interpenetrating and interdependent universes. Are we all here? Present and centred, correct and corrected - omnipresence withheld although we are always and forever at the outset of spatial and temporal infinities, so it seems - at all times and in all places.
Integral elements of archetypal flux, shape changers, appearances, ideas, ephemeral forms. Senses and sensibility, Sinn Schein realities of flatness in-depth. It's not a case of either/or but of both/and - so it is said - for the Devil he is hidden in detail!

Dr. Patrick Patridge, July 2000, Frankfurt-am-Main.

TRENDS in PHOTOGRAPHY: Feng MENGBO (P.R.China)

Feng Mengbo (1966) is a young Chinese artist who lives and works in Beijing. His work combines his experiences as a child of the Cultural Revolution with contemporary Western technology and the visual language of video games. His interactive CD-ROM ‘Taking Mt. Doom by Strategy’ mixes the video game ‘Doom’ with images from the Chinese revolutionary opera ‘Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy’.

The original idea was to build an archive of photos and audio recordings of his family. Soon he realized, that it does not only belong to him but to all Chinese families. Nevertheless, he still liked give the work the title "My Private Album." (From the artist's video channel)

Marc POSCH Design Studio (USA & Germany)

Marc Posch was born in Zürich/Switzerland and grew up in southern Germany. After graduating from the world renowned Merz Art Academy in Stuttgart/ Germany he relocated to Munich where he worked for advertising agencies as a freelance art director and illustrator. The Marc Posch Design Studio was founded in 1980 and became highly successful with a reputation for hip and trendy designs focusing on young peoples interest. Marc and his studio do not only create commercial designs for numerous magazines like Stern, Focus or Der Spiegel, and advertising for what reads like the Who's Who in the German economy, but also for social and cultural events like the Pop Music World Tour "Rock'n Deutsch" for the Goethe Institut, the cultural division of the German State Department. "My intention was always to create something unique, a design with a character even if it looks strange or wild or even chaotic". The Marc Posch Design Studio is now located in Southern California and the claim ‘Design in Progress’ is an expression for communication in the times of Internet and multimedia. It's a synonym for the dynamic process that has changed the structures of traditional advertising and design.

TRENDS in PHOTOGRAPHY: OCCHIOMAGICO (Italy)

TRENDS in PHOTOGRAPHY: OCCHIOMAGICO (Italy)
In 1971 photo studio Occhiomagico (‘the magic eye’) is established, a name which will later become the pseudonym of one of its founders, Giancarlo Maiocchi. In the following eight years 'Occhiomagico' occupied himself with expressive research through the elimination of the traditional visual codes and criteria of the photographic medium.

From the start Occhiomagico characterises himself by activity in two different directions: a professional publishing company (for which he receives several awards) and a constant, intense, artistic research. During all this time, he is extensively followed and documented by critics, who bear witness of small movements and big changes in an artistic investigation with ever more profundity.

From 1979 till 1984 Occhiomagico cooperates with multimedia groups like Studio Alchemia, with architects Aldo Rossi, Allessandro Mendini and Ettore Sotssass Jr., and with the band Matra Bazar of which he is the artistic leader.

The big international break-through came in 1985-1988. In fact, at that time, Occhiomagico was leading several productions in Italy and abroad (Paris, New York, Rotterdam, Memphis and Salonikki are the most important cities) where photography, design, art and music mingle in an utopic scenario. In 1989 there is an important change in his work, because the intimacy of the human being becomes the prime subject of the art and illusion of Occhiomagico. Photography becomes more and more a magical instrument to express and control great fears. Magic, myth and photography meet, research proceeds.

"The Human Condition"
The man, alone, in front of the universe tries to win his fear,
He is assailed with fear every time a star falls.
The man, with other men, tries to keep peace and is assailed with war.

Giancarlo Maiocchi
