Marge Casey + Associates - Photo Agency New York
Photographers

Marge Casey + associates. Asger Carlsen.Asger Carlsen has won a cult following for his offbeat approach to photography. I like the idea of creating a universe of confusion, he explains. But in a real world. Carlsen got his start working as a staff photographer at a small town newspaper in his native Denmark. But for someone drawn to the absurd it seemed inevitable he'd end up in America. The twisted admiration for American culture, as imagined through the bemused gaze of a cool-as-ice foreigner, has become Carlsen's defining stamp. Now based in New York, he says he always tries to incorporate his thing into his advertising and magazine work. Named a finalist in the 2006 Diesel New Art, it's his strange fine-art photographs that are capturing interest worldwide. I have always been fascinated by the abnormal in the normal, Carlsen says. it's like when a person says something inappropriate at a dinner party and you see people's facial expressions afterwards. That can be very inspirational, especially for someone like me who is so well behaved.

Care of Ward 81: Photographs and text by Bill Diodato. Foreword by Mary Ellen Mark.
Golden Section Publishing, 2010. 64 pp., 46 color and black & white illustrations., 106.
This is Bill's first monograph. Care of Ward 81 is the first of two books on the subject. Located at the Oregon State Mental Hospital (the hospital where One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was filmed in 1976), Ward 81 was set up as a psychiatric ward to help women in need by providing them with medical attention and isolation.
From the Introduction by Bill Diodato:
"Entering Ward 81, I found each room vibrated with pastel colors, some walls even adorned with curiously upbeat art from the patients. All this beauty was contrasted with a dense chalky air, earthy odor and constant crackling of debris beneath my feet...In the end, I can't say where exactly the many sleepless nights I spent pondering what happened to the women of Ward 81 have taken me. I simply do not know. If, by chance, it helps even just one woman and her family, I rest my head with a renewed sense of hope."- Bill Diodato
