Mere Pictures

is an American artist based in New York City and Paris. She began taking black and white photographs during her teenage years in Boston, MA of drag queens and the people she surrounded herself with. Through her photography, Goldin gave a voice to members of gay and transexual communities and the lives of friends whose lives were taken by AIDS. In a very frank confrontation, Goldin presented a slide show of photographs at the 1985 Whitney Biennial in New York titled, The Ballad of Sexual Dependency which was set to music and portrayed numerous friends and members of the Lower East Side's hard-drug subculture. According to an article published by The Guardian, this series "remains a benchmark for all other work in a similar confessional vein."

is a photographer, painter, and installation artist, who lives and works in Paris, France. Rousse's installations extend far beyond photography. His constructive use of space requires both sculpting and painting to achieve his vision. In addition, his familiarity with architecture helps blend the architectural elements of a site with his artistic constructions. The setup is immortalized in a photograph. Many of his works can only be fully appreciated when photographed, since the installations were intended to be viewed from a specific angle.
