There is something magical about these photographs; they show faces as they have never before been seen. The 360-degree portraits by the artist duo, Koschies deconstruct familiar occidental views. They are not structured around a vanishing point, but instead take place entirely in the planar dimension. With their fascinating time-slit camera recordings, the artists enter into new visual terrain - not on the basis of digital manipulation, but through creatively making use of the influence of time in the pictures themselves. Just as Impressionist pictorial forms in their day came as a shock to the perception of academically trained viewers of art, these portraits act as a substantial challenge to the eyes of their late modern addressees, whose eyes have been inundated with traditional photography. -- (from publisher)
