An interview with the artist.
How is living in Uruguay?
It`s hard to describe. Kinda quiet, kinda boring, kinda exciting sometimes. It depends. Winter is quite depressing - so it`s a very good time to stay in your home doing productive things and going to some gigs/parties on the weekend. Summer is colourful and you can have a hedonistic-beach-oriented life, there's too much heat to produce anything. Uruguay is a small, almost artificial country, only three million people, most of them very old, because we have a very small birthrate. But, despite all that, I like it here. Uruguay is a new country, with almost no past, no traditions, most of people are of European descent - the very small native population here was very "primitive" and was almost totally erased in the 19th century- so, it`s all about the future here. I see it like a perfect place to start a new civilization.
How did you get started in photography?
At first, I studied Communications and there I took two years of photography, where i learned all the basic things. For many years, I wasn't interested in taking pictures again, but my girlfriend takes a lot of pictures, and now and then I`ve taken her camera to take some. She made me be interested in photography again. One day I saw photos of two friends (Julia Saldain and Julia Corsaro) and I remember clearly the moment that I decided to take pictures again.
What influences your photography?
I like a lot of photographers, but I only started to became interested in them after I started to take pictures. I don’t think they have influenced me as much as cinema.
What do you shoot with?
Most of the time with an Asashi Pentax that belonged to my father. I also used some cheap pocket cameras before they broke.

Through ‘Acid Rain’ Kozac deals with the relationship between man and nature. Her goal with this series is to draw attention to the conflicts related to the, often disproportionate, man altered landscape. She suggests that we romanticize nature, while we shape it to match our fantasy.
"It continuously amazes and baffles us. But still we break it, and suck it dry of resources in pursuit of excessive luxury, leisure and happiness. It is a complex relationship that often ends with nature striking back. I chose to base the works around the theme acid rain, because it is a phenomenon, that shows how human interventions and alterations, can return in form of acid drops falling from the sky. It is a symbol of how the negative effect of our interventions might not seem noticeable at first, but over time they reappear, and mother earth will reclaim her part. Great parts of the planet undergo intense alterations to the point of illness, and I hope that in my lifetime i will witness the drop, that spilled the cup." (Emil Kozac)

Jamie McPhee a recent GSA graduate explores the slow demise of Peterhead, one of Europe’s largest whitefish fishing Port’s. McPhee says of his work ““The Blue Toon” has seen many changes in the fishing industry, from the rise and fall of whaling in the late 18th Century, to the boom of herring fishing in the mid 19th Century. Currently ‘Overfishing’ and EU Fishing regulations are having a massive impact on the community. My images aim to capture the changing landscape as it faces what could be argued as its biggest challenge yet.”

Produced over a period of two years, Attention Seekers is a personal portrayal and playful response to everyday scenes, arbitrary spaces and people encountered by the photographer. In this work O’ Connor’s approach is best surmised as being concerned with the representation of scenes which appear to ‘petition for attention’, one’s which assimilate a particular allure. Each of the images exhibit ambiguous clues and mischievous impressions, where the interplay of color, form, scale and sequencing are all-important signifiers in engaging with the set.
