4.0 out of 5 stars Visual tension from an unknown universe
Russia images made by Lise Sarfati in the 90'. Dislocated and strange space and time that should belong to an unknown universe. The ruins like broken structures depicted 'as is' via certain perspective, is really attractive. Places like contention camp and work camp for offenders, psychiatric institute, bathroom, the eyes of prisoners & transsexuals etc further...

This review is from: Acta Est (Hardcover)
Russia images made by Lise Sarfati in the 90'. Dislocated and strange space and time that should belong to an unknown universe. The ruins like broken structures depicted 'as is' via certain perspective, is really attractive. Places like contention camp and work camp for offenders, psychiatric institute, bathroom, the eyes of prisoners & transsexuals etc further increase the mysterous tension in your visual interpretation.

The cover photo is a masterpiece. Imagine, the room inside Moscow psychiatric institute is shown as a performace like theatre setting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Detention Camp for Young Male Offenders, November 2, 2000
By 
John Greek (Cornell University, Ithaca, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Acta Est (Hardcover)
A dark and intensely disturbing exhibition. Luminous photography, giving a fascinating representation of a vague, mysterious world. I finger through this book with fever: Sarfati gives the imagination powerful imagery, a feast of the unknown. To be enjoyed slowly and carefully. Highly recommended.
