WALTER MARTIN & PALOMA MUÑOZ
Cold as it has been lately, things could be worse. Witness the desolate
little worlds assembled in snow globes and photographed by these two
collaborators. A pair of overalled rustics drown children instead of
kittens in a well; couples in black robes and hoods waltz in a
clearing; a procession of villagers bear torches and heads on stakes.
The most disturbing images are of tiny solitary figures setting out
through the woods with briefcases or bags of groceries, woefully
ill-equipped for the icy chill ahead.
