"PRAISED BY SOME OF THE MOST CREATIVE MAGAZINES AND AD AGENCIES TODAY, KERN APPROACHES PHOTOGRAPHY WITH A DISTINCT VISION. “I BEGAN MY CAREER IN THE EARLY 80’S WHEN ART AND COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY WERE TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS ENTIRELY. MAYBE BECAUSE I DIDN’T KNOW ANY BETTER, I JUST STARTED PHOTOGRAPHING WHAT I WANTED AND PEOPLE GOT EXCITED ABOUT IT. WORD SPREAD… I BECAME KNOWN AS A “SURREALIST” BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OTHER WORD TO DESCRIBE WHAT I WAS DOING,” SAYS KERN.

It all began in 2003 when Dagarslani started working on landscape shoots of different places that would bring out each city’s architectural plan. When Dagarslani discovered analography, his digital camera was putted aside for an analog camera that triggered his passion for photography.
Combining his architectural works with photography in addition to hidden interest for Jean-Luc Godard are the key aspects that defining his style. People can easily perceive desire of depicting human's inner sensation by using expressive colors and natural light.

Mark Khaisman is a Uranian visual artist, born 1958 in Kiev. He creates his works by applying layers of translucent packing tape on clear Plexiglas panels, because he views tape as the most direct way of manipulating light. Khaisman's subjects are often borrowed from art history, old movies, 20th century propaganda art, and his own photographs.
