»Lost Boys«, Slava Mogutin’s first monograph, is a compelling collection of his portraits and landscapes taken over the past ten years – since he was exiled from Russia for “malicious hooliganism with exceptional cynicism and extreme insolence.”
»Temporary Discomfort« documents Davos, Genoa, New York and Evian/Geneva in a transitory state of emergency lock-down during the global economic summits. It combines different photographical genres: landscape photography, photojournalism and police photography, though here with the camera lens turned back at the security forces.
»We will never be so close again« shows portraits of people waiting in their cars at traffic lights in New York, Zurich and Paris. Both projects by Jules Spinatsch.

Le Truc Du Chinois, refer to (industrial) ”tableaux” you can generally find in chinese retaurants or in fast-foods. They are light boxes (originally for use in advertising – neon signs- and very often used in contemporary photography) with a mechanism that moves some filters between the light source and the back-lit picture. This gives a kinetic effect, providing the object with a kind of magic. These touched up photographs usually represent exotic landscapes : luxurious nature with azured skies and watered downs, sometimes with a water fall. By replacing these exotic scenes by council blocks, waste lands and other views of the outskirts, and by keeping only the waterfall as an element of the landscape, BBE recreates a utopian project: the “villes nouvelle” and their idyllic living environment.

The announcement was made in the newspapers, over the radio, with flyers, posters, etc. On 18th September 2005, 160 cars (approximately 425 people) gathered at Intza, Navarre, on the sides of Mount Aralar. The jam started at 11am. and ended at 15pm.
