Annette Elizabeth Fournet
contemporary

In the early 1990s Annette Fournet began to photograph in Eastern Europe. Fascinated by the atmosphere of 'suspended time' cause by the isolation of the Iron Curtain, Fournet witnessed the many changes in the former Czech Republic following the ''Velvet Revolution.'' She found herself photographing, with a sense of nostalgia and regret, the transition--the disappearance of conditions both good and bad in the onslaught of change.

She continues to photograph in Eastern Europe and America, investigating what the photographer C J Laughlin described as ''the mysteryof the ordinary,'' and the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete, the natural evolution of things from or toward nothingness.
