| "Since they began their
collaboration twenty-five years ago, Pierre et Gilles have done as much
to redefine the limits of photography as virtually any other artists
working today. In making such a sweeping claim, it may appear self-defeating
to point out this is not the way their work is usually understood, even
by their most fervent supporters."
"Ironically, the sole means by which Pierre et Gilles could construct this hyper-modern world was by appropriating the most archaic themes and compositional devices they could find. Adding to this irony, especially in light of the argument offered above regarding the demands of new technology, is the fact that Pierre et Gilles employ no digital techniques to enhance their work. Each image, from its elaborately constructed set to its intricately detailed hand-painting, is produced through a lengthy and arduous process, which results in a unique, irreplaceable object." |
