Exquisite Corpse
In Exquisite Corpse, Maryam Diener transports us to the wildly creative world of the female Surrealists, gifted and powerful figures often marginalised by their male contemporaries. Known for seeing women as muses and objects of desire rather than artists in their own right, André Breton, co-founder of Surrealism, wrote: 'The problem of woman is the most marvellous and disturbing problem in all the world.' For him and his clique women were dangerous and alluring, but always 'other'. In a series of dreamlike fragments from the minds of five brilliant artists, Maryam weaves together the destinies of these half-forgotten pioneers as their lives intersect geographically and emotionally.

Emperador Salvaje
A series of panoramic photographs were taken of an alpine view from the balcony of a mountain lodge called the Rechenau, near Kiefersfelden in Bavaria. Maryam and Rolf Sachs focused their camera on two majestic mountain peaks, 'Der Zahme Kaiser' (The Tame Emperor) on the left and 'Der Wilde Kaiser' (The Wild Emperor) on the right, that lie over the German border in Austria. The discipline for the project was rigorous, throughout 2004 the camera, which was housed in a purpose built shelter shot over 50,000 photographs, each taken every 10 and half minutes. The pictures succeed in capturing nature's ever changing moods. Rolf Sachs studied business management and is a renowned London-based furniture and object designer. Maryam Sachs who holds a Masters in International Affairs, has published anthologies such as 'Der Mond' (the moon) and 'Der Kuss (the kiss). Includes a Foreword by Wilfried Dickhoff, noted art critic and curator of such exhibitions as the Art Project "In Between" at the EXPO 2000 Selected photographs from Rechenau will be exhibited throughout Europe. 133 colour photos

Illustrated with Renaissance frescoes, native American masks, Chinese architecture, nature photography, and icons of popular culture, "The Moon" is an elegant and evocative treasury.

Passenger
A passenger climbs in a taxi outside Charles de Gaulle airport, eager to get home for her son's twenty-first birthday dinner. She's taken this route so many times she could describe it with her eyes shut - the trucking company buildings that border the highway, the 'Paris - Centre' sign that hangs from the flyover, the unmistakable smell of Parisian pollution as the three-lane highway crawls closer to town. The passenger idly watches Paris speed by and listens to her taxi driver's tales of love and border crossings. As he speaks, her own memories begin to surface: of her childhood in Berlin, her escape, and a love affair she buried long ago. And, as these unlikely friends weave through traffic and backstreets, sharing stories, a drive through Paris becomes a journey back in time.
