Paul Destieu, My Favourite Landscape, 2007:
“My Favourite Landscape is made of 500 70 x 50 cm offset prints. It is a reappropriation of the well known Windows XP desktop : Green Hill.

The work of Brazilian photographer Diego Kuffer:
“Photography only lets you capture instants (even long exposures are only blurred instants).

I call the grammar behind it ‘chrono cubism.’”
