Michael Dressel “I am a camera” A Berliner who lives in Los Angeles

Born in East Berlin in 1958, he spent his time behind the Iron Curtain painting, photographing and cavorting with fellow dissidents. After trying to escape from the East by climbing the Wall and being caught he was send to prison for two years.

Two years in West Berlin followed before he was washed up on the shores of Los Angeles were he is still toiling in obscurity.

Batsceba Hardy - Loneliness Belongs to the photographer A foreigner in love with Berlin

Artist of irreality, she writes stories in images and tells visions in words. Anyway, “artist” of the Irreality, means: to be able to stand outside, beyond. Living perpetually in the interspaces, those that can be caught by the lens or by the words, having no borders, obligations. In many of her writings she speaks of invisibility, transparency. And also in her photographic works she speaks of empty and full. Of absence.
