"KDB's project may be defined as post-photographic: in re-reading and re-using, in a new way, photographic images culled from various magazines, these latter ones lose their status of plain photography and the book that of a classic photo-book. In a similar way, the artist may be defined as "photographer without a camera": the framing broadens itself, taking place no longer in the lens, but in the eye, whereas the vision occurs directly in the hand, becoming thereby more physical and tactile. ... KDB doesn't write, but she compiles notebooks made of sentences and headlines cut out of newspapers and magazines, appropriating also in this case someone else's vocabulary to express in a neutral way her own story." -- http://www.avarie-publishing.com/files/press_kit_LONG_KDB_web.pdf (as viewed on February 24, 2015).
