Elin Høyland, Norway
Høyland's esteemed project and book, The Brothers, follows the lives of two brothers aged 75 and 80 in rural Norway. Never married, the two have spent their entire lives on a small farm they were born on. Høyland follows the "comfortable routines" of two who have happily remained disconnected from the bustle of the everyday world.

Martin Bogren, Sweden
Looking through Bogren's work, it's difficult to identify when his photographs were created. They could be found images extracted from an album 50 years ago, or perhaps 10 years in the future. Bogren utilizes black and white photography as a time machine, distilling a range of time to an essence of an era. His fluid handheld images give a sense of travelling through a landscape, each image a clue of the place; traces we sense we know, but from a distance. These could be stills from the cinema, from a found travel album, or from a dream. Inspiring work.

Bohnhof and Weinert's brilliant collaborative project 'Abwesenheitsnotizen / Absense Notification' uses a subtractive approach to the artist intervention. There's more to these rooms than what you can see.

Thomas Bachler, Germany
Continually pushing the boundaries of the primitive pinhole camera, both technically and conceptually.
Don't miss the "Scenes of Crime" series. The first to utilize ballistics as means of creating an 'aperture'.
