“since its beginning, photography hasn’t been able to shed its rivalrous position to painting, and […] contemporary photographers like Bialobrzeski and countless others with him still take painting as a point of orientation or departure. Apparently, this is an issue which we cannot leave behind so easily, however persuasive the pleas of reason are made to sound. Perhaps more may be gained by making the persistence of this rivalry the focus of study rather than trying to raise our awareness of the dividing abyss.” - Mrs Deane
