This autobiography is written in a very misleading way. It implies that the subject was in exhibitions at MoMA, ABMB, Mary Boone, Dietch Projects etc. It also implies that he *collaborated* with FISCHERSPOONER, Vanessa Beecroft, Marina Abramović, and Terence Koh. So... what has actually happened here is that the subject of the article was hired by these very very famous artists to document their work. Beecroft doesn't collaborate with anyone. She hires people to take photographs of her performances. Work for Hire. Not collaboration. The portraits section of his website has some beautiful photographs of many of these artists, but that is not what is being exhibited in these venues that would establish notability. If you try to verify any of these items listed below, you will see what I mean. You can't find anything, because his name was not listed. Theredproject (talk) 04:14, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete I trimmed out all the puffery, outright lies and fabrications, and nothing that would establish notability is left. I searched bu cannot find a single good reference online. Good call nominating this for deletion.104.163.147.121 (talk) 04:59, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete No independent coverage of the artist in reasonable detail. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:09, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
