'Biermann's photographic essays access the metaphysical in a distinctly contemporary context, not only do they summon the uncanny but also offer a unique and singular approach to the photographic image. His staged photographs are restricted to monochrome, reminiscent of those pristine, purist art photography images of the 1950's and 60's. He uses a panoramic camera to create a vertical, portrait format, his images present a disconcerting counterpoint of hard-blown industrial edges and surfaces with the vulnerability of nude, cling-film or fabric-wrapped bodies. Like the paintings of Francis Bacon, Biermann's diptychs and polyptychs suggest narrative sequences but paradoxically resist narrative interpretation.'

Ruetz' pictures are as far removed from those of the animal specialist...
