ABOUT Thanatos-Eros-Discord
" The study of birth defects was given the name "teratology" in the 60s by a scientist who was researching fetal alcohol syndrome. No name has been given yet to the art of capturing the beauty of monstrosity. Mediator has this very special gift of seeing beyond the surface of repulsion and grasping the essence of aesthetism. The alchemic transformation of the ugly to the sublime. Her experiences in the arcanas of Gnosticism forged her visions of a world where deformed babies, black metal anti heroes and urban surrealism open wide the gates of the subconscious. The photography of Mediator is pure "teratophilia": an act of love for the damned. " Nico Claux ( Writer, Artist Paris 2011 )
" Thanks for cracking open my head. " Darius James author of Negrophobia: An Urban Parable
" Your photos are fucking amazing! " ( Del James, writer, artist, Road Manager for Guns N Roses )
" you are the female Dezzo Hoffman " Dick Scum from Armitage Shanks
