COLLECTOR'S CONDITION. “This was a time in my life of much traveling - from East to West, and back again - and it coincided with a certain loss of identity. It was a time in which moral qualities seemed shaken: the focus of my attention altered, latching onto the possibility of moral change. The gaze which searches over the surface of things held sway over a more analytical response to the visual. I feel that this book may be of interest, trying as it does to reflect the initial period associated with the processes of emigration. The pictures describe a range of unstable states, and also the intensity of some obscure quest, a quest which is also a sort of experiment.” (Boris Mikhailov) Welcome to the next edition of the very popular one-seller auctions by Ecki Heuser, 5Uhr30.com (Cologne, Germany) on Catawiki.
