It’s the only photography gallery in Brooklyn, and the Worm
Carnevale show wasn’t that bad. It just wasn’t awesome and I feel exactly the
same about Chrisostomou’s pictures. They’re of small domestic objects upsized
to fit attractive interiors. It’s nice the first time you see them. They look like
they could be documenting a new line of Jeffrey Koons’s sculptures. But the
illusion starts to fade, and you’re left with a very repetitive photoshop trick.
While seamless, it is even less exciting once you realize where the proverbial rabbit
is coming from. They’re not bad, just not exciting either. Maybe Fuchs Projects
is just getting going? There is certainly a dearth of unrepresented
photographers out there, and even if you wanted to limit your programming to
local artists, Brooklyn certainly has a higher quality of photography going on
than is being shown so far at Fuchs Projects.*

none of it is photoshopped. Those are all miniature sets that he builds and places these life-size objects in them. Do your homework.

I stand corrected, still underwhelmed with the end result.
