Sometimes the weirdest, or most bafflingly ordinary, events grant for the artist a natural surrealism beyond the most ardent attempts of someone like Man Ray. Tatge's magic is in his lightning-fast capturing of the light in this image. Without its spindly shadows and strange layerings of illumination and darkness, the ostensible drama of the image would fade into obvious "surrealism." He has a remarkable capacity to take a primally arresting image and transform it into a cipher written in the artist's unmistakable language. It is both universal and entirely personal in its character.
Jane Livingston, 2008 (From Presences, Italian Landscapes)
