This looks like it will be very good. Drawing Faces in Spaces #1.
Covering things made over the last few years this is predominantly a photo-book that pulls together photographic and sculptural work. This includes North London and the rim of the Caspian Sea, distressed fabric and blackbirds in Tokyo, an Amazonian ghost-town, the Bradbury Building and Million Dollar Hotel to name but a few.
Thanks for the post Tim.

Yorgos Loizos
"Entitled Olympia, after the automaton described in ETA Hoffmann's short story Der Sandmann (1816), Yorgos Loizos' first solo exhibition consists of a series of handcrafted photographic works. Created using surrealist techniques including solarization and the photogram, these editions evoke the notion of the uncanny through a use of imagery that is both familiar and odd, and by blurring perceptions of the animate and the inanimate. Featuring fragments of a mannequin doll and sculptures of cityscapes, each composition was formed as a constructed, studio based, vista of space. Washed in a bain-marie of chemical liquids and exposed to 'accidental' light leaks, the works describe impossible spaces inhabited by doll bodies."
