Seba now has a new website up, which you can see here. It has lots of new work and well worth a look.... The images here are all from Shoe box:
"In the late 80’s Aregntina suffered another crisis, where my father lost his business and our house and our belongings got repossessed...
A shoe box with all the family memories was the one thing that remainded.
They had all been damaged in a flood...." Seba Kurtis
Maurice will be showing at Pallant House, in Chichester until the 9th May 2010, If you have not been to Pallant House before I strongly recommend it, and if Pop Art is your thing they have an incredible collection, including this great Richard Hamilton....
Consisting of images shot on a single day during the autumn of 2007, the work also focuses on life within the home, including family members, with particular attention being paid to a young woman. These shifts from meditative spaces to studied portraits create an atmosphere of intimacy, but also hints at an underlying narrative.
The Exhibition runs until the 30th April
'When the little chavvies gets up,they take the grails down the pani...then we all have bread and kel and a piece of stinger..’ Zilla Roberts describing Appleby Horse Fair, quoted by John Ezard in 1976. 
Appleby Fair has existed since 1685 under the protection of a charter granted by James 11.Held in Appleby-in-Westmorland, Cumbria, it is world famous and probably the most well known of the horse fairs attended by Romany families who travel early June each year to conduct business and catch up with friends.
The fair is an extraordinary spectacle which is shared by both gypsy,tourist and local people a like. Whether this is expressed through the traditions of trotting and racing down Flashing Lane, or through the horses being ridden and washed in the River Eden en mass, the horse is at the heart of this week long event.
The culture of Apple Fair is a healthy two fingers up to an ever increasingly over regulated,globalised society that is forcing minorities to the margins of society.
Here is some background from Kurt about the project:
The spaces are shot using films, working with different lighting conditions and several other technique to 'degrade' the film, the images are then reconstructed through digital means.
