A photograph by crystal liu from her exhibit that will open in new york on the 10th of april.
“i wanted to make this photo of wallpaper. before i moved into the room someone else lived there and made their own memories there. a house is a kind of storage space… just like someone’s journal. or brain. or heart. or a box of recipes.
the wall paper is about someone discovering something. so many questions are racing through my mind… i wonder who lived in this room? why beige stripes? it’s like when people go to the desert and dig for bones… it’s to piece together a more complete past. i want the whole answer…”

ISSUE JAN /FEB 2010 IVONNE THEIN / THIRTY-TWO KILOS AT GALERIE VOSS / DÜSSELDORF
In this photographic series, Ivonne Thein, born in 1979 in Meiningen, Germany, takes on the problem of pathological thinness which many young girls (and grown women) pursue in the US, sometimes at the cost of their lives. A worrying phenomenon which began back in the 1990s with the on-line movement called “pro Ana” that promoted anorexia as a positive status symbol. Thein’s photographs are constructed using the same visual devices utilized in fashion photography. In them we find the same “superficiality”, the same compositional style and the same atmosphere. Computer edited, the photographs show the already-thin models transformed into skin-and-bone mannequins with their faces hidden and their bodies bent into unnatural, disturbing poses.
