Jon Rafman: ‘My own view is that the artist’s role requires moral commitment to critique the real world in which we are trapped. Even from a historic perspective, the role of the artist was not so much to liberate us but to reveal the conditions of our enslavement.’

Gabor Szilasi: ‘My photographs are all about real things. I am very interested in the quantity of information that is in a photograph. Sometimes I look at exterior elements in terms of composition and that is to an extent an abstraction, but otherwise I am mostly interested in the people, telling their stories. I am interested in them as they are and in no way as abstractions of concepts.’ c
