Review Quotes
Der Spiegel
“Passage 2011 is certainly one of the best and most profound contributions to the entire Biennale.”
Jemima Greaves | Outdoor Photography
“Artistic duo Global Aesthetic Genetics undertook a bizarre project in May 2001, in which they pulled a boat across the Zillertal Alps with the aim of reaching Venice in time for the Biennale. In Passage 2011, we are presented with beautiful alpine images and lots of photographic evidence of the highs and lows from the expedition, which tie in very well with the firsthand accounts of their arduous and very odd journey.”—Outdoor Photography
