"The astonishing aspect of Morell's photographs
is their ability to give this old world a new look. What is this
he's got here, we continually ask? Morell has found the way to domesticate
the fantastic. In this photograph, it seems perfectly natural to
find the reflection of sea waves on the ceiling of an attic. How
delightful it must be to stretch in a bed with the upside-down image
of the Empire State Building in midtown Manhattan hovering over
one's head! Morell's is a magic realist show. Nothing is quite what
it appears to be. Mirage and reality perform side by side, providing
new aesthetic experience for the viewer."
