Adrian Searle in his Guardian Review is in no doubt as to his favourite and we agreed!.
'But Stezaker is by miles the best image-maker here. He has that great unteachable gift: an eye and a sensibility. Splicing old Hollywood publicity shots, marrying male and female faces, or – by an apparently simple act of gluing – sticking an old postcard over half a woman's face, he creates marvellous, funny, disturbing androgynies and what appear to be psychological crises in his subject's faces. No matter how long you look at them, Stezaker's hand-cut collated images never lose their strange dynamism'
