ESFOTO 2009 Catalog

I got a copy of the catalog of the photography festival ESFOTO 2009 held in El Salvador last year, it is a snapshot of what fine art photographers are doing in the Central American region actually.

Cinderella's Chair

Cinderella’s Chair is a follow up of the Anna Ter Haar's project “Buitenbeentje”. Prostheses of glass, like a prosthetic leg, custom made for each chair.

One can easily sit on the chairs, something you do not expect when you see them. See more at www.annaterhaar.nl site.
