I just had a quick look at your website and some of your pictures are amazing!

January 6, 2011 from Gerard P.
I very much appreciate your photos on the Broken Muses website! We visited the same places in the US, I loved the Pima museum in Tucson.

January 4, 2011 from Jonathan L.
Every moment you capture is rich with texture, composition and story. I not only envy your travels I admire your vision. I am glad you opted to not move into digital yet - there are not enough megapixel in the world to display what you see. Your photographs are as honest as the medium on which you shoot.

November 25, 2010 from Saira K.
I saw your travel pics. Fabulous!!

July 19, 2010 from Natalia K.
I really was moved by your photos – something in the title and in the fragility of the images that left me thinking for days.

May 19, 2010 from Ryan B.
I've checked out your website and absolutely love your photos. I remember when I heard you describe the mannequins I could get a feel for some of the emotions you could capture on a camera, and well, seeing the actual photos really drives it home! I love what you do with the angles and the focus, really unique and emotive shots.
I think my favorite is the one with the green blindfold. There are others that are really dramatic too, but that one stands out to me.
Well, just thought I'd share my thoughts with you. I'd love to have a website of my own one day. Keep up the good work!

March 10, 2010 from Bill Sh.
I spent the last half hour looking at your website when I should have been trawling though some ... database. As I work in an open plan office some of your broken muses may look all too life-like when viewed from a distance so I had better continue my review when I get home and can do it justice.

I love everything about the Ethiopia pictures, they are awsome. I posted the link on my facebook, and people are fascinated. Especially the kids are so natural and pure, I love 'em all!

December 11, 2009 from Jürgen K.
I looked at brokenmuses.com and I was well impressed, with what you done. I do love the artwork on your web site, it is very different and bizarre but I like that.

December 4, 2009 from Getachew A.
Hi there, I went through your website and it's amazing, I loved it! It's super and fun. I'll look forward to see more of this things. Hope it'll include those trains in Dire Dawa. I love the cars and toys. I'm promoting it here to friends, it's funny!

October 19, 2009 from Samuel L.
Cool! I like the New York 2005 picture with the perfect mannequins. It’s the intriguing paradox; something perfect cannot be boring but especially something perfect is boring.

September 22, 2009 from Philippe D.
My wife was telling me how much she loves your picture of spoons which is hanging in the kitchen.

August 24, 2009 from Oscar K.
I must confess I snooped a little bit in your site and absolutely loved your photographic work. You are so talented!

June 4, 2009 from Dafydd N.
I like your website, and are you suggesting James Bond is a ‘broken muse’?!

April 25, 2009 from Guy Ch.
I was surprised by the fact that I particularly liked your photos about the mannequins; surprised because, on it’s face, one would consider something that is made to merely be an intentionally uninteresting background for the display of another object would itself not be that interesting. You are able to not only capture them in a very thought provoking way, somehow you also humanize them and bring their emotions to the viewer. This I did not at all expect and, to be honest, had never noticed in them. In English, we refer to them less as Mannequins and more as “dummies” - a term that belies a type of hidden contempt; odd for something that is made to be neutral. Perhaps the contempt comes from a feeling of superiority: while they are made to look like us, they have no thoughts, no feelings and no free will.
I suppose we constantly reassure ourselves that these things make us superior to both the beasts and the inanimate objects around us. The humanization of a mannequin, however, makes me think of a question that has always fascinated me and for which I doubt I will ever find an answer. We are dropped in this world with no explanation and no understanding of our existence and worse, no way to comprehend the inherent conflict we feel inside between the spiritual and the physical. The reality we perceive from day to day is the product of the senses and physical realities of the vessel we inhabit: our body. That world has borders (our skin) and rules (physics, mortality). Yet at the same time we are aware of a spiritual side that cannot be reconciled with the borders and rules that our bodies must obey. Somehow we are unwilling passengers, locked in the confines of this vessel, knowing there is something more but completely unaware of how to find it.
On one level, I found the Broken Muses disturbing because they reminded me of this question, for they reflected the reality I confront. They are broken containers for the expressions of their makers, but perhaps they are not as perplexed by their inherent dichotomy – one can only hope! We make them to reflect the physical side of our nature, but they can never capture who we are because in order for us to recreate that, we have to first fully understand it. I don’t know about others, but I certainly am quite far away from that. I often wonder whether I will ever understand why I seem to feel more of my world than the physical confines of my body should allow me to feel. Beauty is really just one of the many senses that tie us to our physical world. Perhaps we seek it, like we seek other physical stimulus, because it helps quiet the spiritual side that is so hard for us to understand. It makes me think that maye we call them “dummies” out of jealousy, for they are free from the existential confusion we face.

October 30, 2008 from Mike M.
I had no idea you were such a talented artist! Wow! I would love to see your work in person someday. Hopefully your talented work will make it to the US someday soon.

October 27, 2008 from Tom L.
I hope the Vernissage went well and wish you all the best in your photographic endeavors!

On the October 22 exhibition in Brussels:

This is amazing… The way the broken muses look like real human beings … congratulations! Sabine Q.

Je vous felicite Margit, vous avez vraiment du talent. Bonne conttinuation ! Karima B.

Dear Margit, I followed a lot of your exhibitions and I am always impressed ! Please continue to contribute with your excellent art of photography. Helmut S.

C’est vraiment original et surprenant, ce concept! Je regrette simplement de n’etre venue accompagnée, car ca aurait beaucoup de monde que je connais. Bonne continuation, Marilyn M

Dear Margit, I really enhoyed it! Frederick D.

Congratulations Margit, you made me look at things in a new way. Miachel S.

Lovely art, Margit. I am very happy I finally got to see your muses! Best Hara K.

Liebe Margit, vielen Dank für die eindrucksvollen Bilder. Ich gratuliere Dir zu Deinem Erfolg am heutigen Abend und möchte Dich ermutigen, Deine künstlerische Ader weiter zu pflegen. Ich bewundere Dich, dass Du dies neben Deinen Hauptaktivitäten noch schaffst. Dein Werner M.

Thank you for an original and thought provoking exhibition! A.

Margit, great idea and first of all big talent! Congratulatins! H.

Margit, thank you for this outstanding art experience and congratulations! Joanna K.

Liebe Margit, die Musen sprechen – und zwar mehr als anrührend – die (auch poetischen) Texte bräucht’s für mich gar nicht. Philipp

Margit, My 1 year old daughter pointed and “hissed” at her favourite photos – I think that is a compliment. Congratulations, James and family.

Dear Margit, I am so glad this finally happened to you – the photographs look fantastic an Bluieprint is really lucky to have them on display! Carla C.

Dear Margit, thank you very much for the invitation! Deine Ausstellung gab uns die Chance ein wenig vonunseren Alltagsgedanken abzurücken. Es war sehr interessant Deine Bildtechnik zu entdecken. Wir sind bereit für die nächste Ausstellung! Rachel und Harald M.

Dear Margit, beautiful your work. Especially the green blinded woman and the hole in the head. Also your technique has drastically improved since your are using aluminum. I also fancy the descriptions. Harry

Dear Margit, thank you for the interesting conversation. Your “broken muses” made me think what kind of mannequins are displayed in Asia? So this mightbe something for you to explore. I am looking forward to your experiences and new pictures! Good luck and a lot of success! B. K.

Margit! Very impressive set of pictures – artistic, thought provoking and technically impressive. No doubt that you will become rich and famous if you continue this way! Jouko P.

I really loved your pictures (I want to own all of them!). Thank you for offering this opportunity to us! Kaisa-R. K.

Thank you for taking the time to show the pictures. It was so nice to see some “old friends” again. And now I have even more pictures that O already can see how good they would look on my walls! Salla A.

October 22, 2008 from Mladen S.
Congratulations for Kapfenberg exhibition - and all the best for tonight opening :-)

October 12, 2008 from Nigel H.
This [the pictures for the Austrian exhibition] is fantastic; spent last hour on your site; wish I was going to be in Austria; think you really are going places; am privileged to know you. Favourite for Austria in green headband…

October 7, 2008 from Michael S.
Congratulations in advance with regard to the exhibition!

September 5, 2008 from Sandrine L.
Your art gallery is spectacular and needs from me a particular attention.
I had already a look at the new sins (!!!) and I ended reading the blog! The "welcome to Absurdistan:" is really something I share!

September 2, 2008 from Alex S.
Just wanyed to say I really like your blog. It makes me laugh and improves my mood. You are really cool and funny. Keep writing.

August 31, 2008 from Alex S.
Your blog is really good :-)

August 19, 2008 from Kalle St.
I checked your link to the Kapfenberg exhibition - Good work as usual!

July 7, 2008 from Alex S.
Just a note: your entire life was designed (and chosen by your soul) for a purpose. That includes all this crap you went through. Note that without it you wouldn't be yourself, you wouldn't have this wonderful sensitivity. Plus the gift you got from nature in colors; That means that you have an obligation to actually "get stuff done". Not much choice - but clearly you eveolved into a great artist.

May 23, 2008 from Rogier D.
As I promised, I had a look at your site. Amazing that your pictures also got censored.

May 5, 2008 from Joe O.
There’s a lot in your site – you met the Dalia Lama! Thanks for the kind words regarding the little song.

March 27, 2008 from Hara K.
I did check your website and it looks very interesting, there is a whole artistic side to you that I was not aware of!

March 14, 2008 from Helena L.
Wonderful photos!

March 12, 2008 from Mladen S.
I checked your pictures from India - and again I admire your art and work.

February 6, 2008 from Katherine D.
I have had a look at your website and there are some fascinating pictures on there. Also I see you met the Dalai Lama, I am sure that was an amazing experience.

January 10, 2008 from Julianna T.
Dear Margit who shook hands with the Dalai Lama!!!
I’ve been reading your blog since we said good-bye about a year ago in Brussels, and honestly, it’s great! Especially now that you travel, I really feel like actually traveling on your side! Your comments make me sometimes so enthusiastic that I even read the German version, so that I can get to know from you that Madonna is right now on vacation in Jaipur :--).
Keep the great diary writing! Can’t wait your next day of adventures;-))
Best regards from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, US, Julianna

I am just browsing your web site. It's very good.

October 12, 2007 from Patrice L.
J'ai trouvé votre travail remarquable de sensibilité et d'esthésie. (I found your work remarkably sensitive and esthetic.)

May 17, 2007 from Wendy Z.
Since I saw your muses, I started to notice them around and think about them... Funny how one exhibition can change someone's perception.

April 26, 2007 from John J.
I just got round to checking your website again. I’m a big fan of the human portraits which I haven’t seen before, and I still find mannequins a disconcerting idea (in a good way), although the broken lights are a little too conceptual (if that’s the word?) for my taste.

April 23, 2007 from Isabelle H.
What a wonderful break - to sit here watching the pictures change from one beautiful slot to another!!! Such sharp reflection of natural scenes. Thank you ! (Wish I knew how to do that!)

April 17, 2007 fro Paul L.
I have come to your site through Xing which I am also a member of. The page of mannequins I find particularly intersting and see many possible stories with such looks. The past becomes contemporary.

April 9th, 2007 from Juergen S.
Congratulations! BROKENMUSES is thought-provoking and really distinguishes from to the usual fast food web pages.

April 8th, 2007 from Kalle S.
Now when it is Easter I am trying to catch up on various things. I just had a quick look at your web site and listened to the broken muses song! That was nice - hadn’t seen/heard that before.

February 26th, 2007 from Ljubica A.
The vernissage in Zagreb was very sweet for eye and ear and I enjoyed it very much.

February 21st, 2007 from Vlasta H.
I was - and still I am – delighted with your photos/exibits!

February 15th, 2007 from Mladen S.
Dear M, it (the vernissage in Zagreb) was fantastic: holidays for ears, eyes and mouth. And a pleasure to meet your father and your friend Margit.

February 1st, 2007 from Michael F.
I was thinking that if this planet would be run by technicians and technocrats what a poor world it would be. No doubt it would function at 100% and trains would be on time. But we would miss out on beauty and charm. This is a complement to all individuals that contribute to the beauty of this planet, however small their role is.

December 7th, 2006 from Ioannis
:-) Cool stuff

November 24th, 2006 from Michael F. - on the opening of the exhibit
You did well, but "Insecurity is the artist's kharma!".
