B.C.: Gaston Zvi Ickowicz

The photographs of Gaston Zvi Ickowicz (b. Buenos Aires, 1974) excel in attentive observation of "place" and conduct a unique dialogue with modern and contemporary photography. His precise, introverted gaze captures signs and remnants of occurrences, often facing down, to the ground. His focusing on the layered surface exposes an esthetic, political and emotional complexity and crystallizes into a typological poetic definition of the place.
