From Boris Mikhailov series Red 68-75.

I like the women's relationships with the camera in this selection of photos from Red. They seem to not be referencing themselves to media as Saja Ivekjovic notes in her Double Life series.

Nikki S. Lee from Hiphop, Hispanic, Ohio, Schoolgirl, Tourist and Yuppie Series.

After observing particular subcultures and ethnic groups, Nikki S. Lee adopts their general style and attitude through dress, gesture, and posture, and then approaches the group in her new guise. She introduces herself as an artist (though not everyone believes her or takes it seriously), and then spends several weeks participating in the group’s routine activities and social events while a friend or member of the group photographs her with an ordinary automatic “snapshot” camera.

Quiznos guy: Try the honey mustard chicken at Quiznos!

Olive: Not now, Quiznos!

Quiznos guy: You’re a slut.

Takashi Homma

Shonan International Village, Kanagawa, 1995-8.

Makuhari Bay Town 4, 1995.

Takashi Homma photographs newly built suburban housing in Japan and the highly strategised landscaping around it. Particularly looking at the houses at the edge of the developments. Looks at dehumanising impact and the politics of housing developments, and the industrial use of land.

Walter Niedermayr

Themes of commodification and invasion of nature by man.

"He raises questions about our desire, when we are on holiday, to feel like we are in the ungovernable forces of nature, but always safe in the knowledge that our creature comforts are within reach." Charlotte Cotton, from The Photograph as Contemporary Art.

Miriam Backstrom

Miriam Backstrom, Museums, Collections and Reconstructions, IKEA Corporate Museum, 'IKEA throughout the Ages'. Almhult, Sweden, 1999, 1999.

'A space that we may ordinarily consider to be defined by an individual's tastes and activities is shown as being prescribed. Our display of personal identity in our homes is not only commercially reproducible but also easily mimicked.' - Charlotte Cotton.

This comment is easily comparable to Sanja Ivekovic's Double Life series. The realisation that you taste and day to day decisions (here personal interior environments, in Sanja's case mannerisms and behaviour) are so easily predictable and are a product of society rather than your own individuality.

Miles Coolidge - Safetyville

Safetyville, 1996

Photographs of fake suburban town in California where kids are taught pedestrian safety. "A miniature town built at one-third scale in Sacramento, California." Is similar to a film set in that there are small signs that it isn't a natural town. Dimensions are slightly off, deserted etc. Like the fake reality. It looks like a town from a computer game that has then been rebuilt in reality.

Nice framing

Micheal Landy's Credit card destroying machine.

- Viewer gives machine assistant a valid credit card, it gets shredded by the machine and in turn the machine generates a drawing for the viewer to take away. In return for destroying their credit card the participant recieves an original artwork signed by the artist.

-Nice Graphic design

Beaut sculpture, info above on the sticker, reminds of Steve Bishop for ways of finding new light and colour combinations.

Darren Almond, Full Moon, 2008

- Like the time element of the photo. The ritual of taking the photo on a full moon and the knowledge of the long exposure to get the light makes it meditative and draws you into the environ.
