For years now Desiree Dolron (Netherlands, b. 1963) has travelled around the world. Whatever corner of the world she finds herself in , she has invariably returned with uniquely personal records of her journeys. Dolron’s acute vision meshes traditional reportage photography and computer enhancement to create a richer version of a genre that many believe to be tired and overused. The stillness and subtlety that is evoked by her seamless work has created a 21st C vision at odds with traditional photographic practice. Her references are obvious, but the results are a revelation. Perfection, often disappointing in practice, is in Dolron’s work, a newer vision. Shine Gallery will be showing her Cuba project and her much talked about “Exteriors” in 2003, which was singled out by the International Herald Tribune as one of the outstanding exhibitions at Paris Photo in 2002. The demand for this and her Cuba series has been so strong that only a very small quantity of this material will be made available for collectors to purchase and we would recommend early viewing of the work.
