Andrei Tarkovsky

His films show the place fulfilled with strong feeling of mystery. Nothing is as we can see it. Something is hidden there. http://kafkasfilm.blogspot.cz/2013/02/stalker-tarkovsky.html

What is an artist relationship to a place? And how to photograph a place to be frightening, erotic, transcendent, passive, fevered, muffled? Huebler's work puts a question what we think about our relationship to a place. What we see and how we think about it. For me it is a state of mind. Artist and place and its representation. Context, story, history, anything that has an influence on our judge about a place.

Caspar David Friedrich 

I like his paintings with human element in it. The lost man in Chasseur in the Forest is great representation of place, empty, without knowing where to go if there is place to go :-)

Robert Smithson

He photographed his birth town as it is an alien environment and really the photographs looks like they are from other planet. The achievment of representation of the places are great and again it appeals to thing about it. There is emptiness, tension, foreignness in these photographs.

Marine Hugonnier

She realized in her film Ariana profound limitation of the visual. When they wanted to film a panaromatic view in Afganistan they were not allowed to do it. When they overcome that obstacle, they recognized a conflict - standing on the "Televison Hill" they got a view of totality and also the fact the view is used as a strategic military view point. Difference between what is seen and what is invisible! Pleasure from seeing nice totality but not what is invisible (hidden) for audience.

Joachim Koester

Without knowing it is the wood with extraordinary history I could guess I see ordinary wood. The context change the situation. When I have the context I see it in other way. My imagination has started projection in my mind :-).
