Vincent Van Gogh was a strong advocate of collaboration among painters. In the same way, we advocate collaboration among photographers.
Echoing Van Gogh, we believe that the photographs that need to be made today, that are necessary for photography to fulfill itself and to rise to a level equivalent to Greek sculpture or any other of the supreme peaks of artistic endeavor, exceed the power of an isolated individual, and will probably be created by two or more artists combining to carry out a shared idea...
…not by collaborating on individual works, but through verbal and image-making discourses related to the perennial issues of art and life…
...in conversation and in practice, creating photographs that differ from one another yet go together and complement one another.
