Dijagnoza trenutka. Rastuća buka novog veka. Sile razramljivanja. Pogled preko vidika. Memento. Čekaonica sećanja. Poezija odlaska. Umetnost putovanja. Metamorfoze. Metempsihoze. Mutacije. (...) Snimaš svet koji poznaješ, snimaš svet koji stvaraš. Tvoje vreme i tvoje pamćenje stapaju se jedno u drugo. U stotinu dvadeset fotografija stvarnosti, koje postaju pozorište." Tomaž Pandur "The world as a performance. A diagnosis of the moment. The growing noise of the new century. The forces of de-framing. Scanning the view. Memento. The waiting room of memory. The poetry of departure. The art of travel. Metamorphoses. Metempsychoses. Mutations. (...) You photograph the world you know,you photograph the world you create. Your time and your memory merge into each other. Into one hundred and twenty photographs of reality, that become theatre." Tomaž Pandur
