"In Witkin's collection I see an apparently static space whose contents shift about, without any key or legend, and charge visitors to form their own mental inventories ... in this connoisseurship of the mundane, Witkin emerges both innovative and grounded in very old, unconscious traditions. Inasmuch as the modern museum parallels the ancient temple archive, Witkin becomes magistrate, architect, devotee and priestess(!)" says Athena Kirk, Classics Department, University of California at Berkeley.
