Charlott Markus Work from Pygmalion. “Charlott Markus constructs still life arrangements that manifest as site-specificinstallations or photography.

Markus’ sense of the picturesque, the tactile and sculpturalimages in her compositions gives a poetic and timeless power.” – ACF translated by google.
