New on Photomonitor

Portfolio:  For February 2013, Photomonitor is pleased to present a portfolio of images by Rut Blees Luxemburg, Black Sunrise - London Dust.  "These photographs were taken in three cities between 2010 and 2012; New York, London and Belgrade. Thinking about the lumicity of each place, I tried to make visible certain connections and tensions, a visual knowledge, that reveals a potentially sinister and barred territory, yet also shimmers with the promise of a constructed desire, forever almost in reach."
