“The surreal wilderness of the night—the darkness which breeds strange characters and mysterious beings—is the site of this highly graphic, deeply personal visual storytelling.”-Lens Culture Article (http://bit.ly/lcajisusantoanom)

“’River of Hades’ strikes me for its ability to go deep into the "dark side" of reality. Even the most simple subjects (whether they are people, things or natural environment) are turned into a disquieting presence; I truly felt upset looking at some of the images, and I think this is the great point and strength of “River of Hades’.”-Lens Culture Submission Review

“‘River of Hades’ is very intense and mysterious photo series of Indonesian photographer Aji Susanto Anom (b.1989). It’s eerie, intriguing, polysemic, and needs to be paraphrased along with the statement of the artist. It’s very original and memorable and it lingers as well as haunts the psyche of the viewers.”-PhotoArtMag (http://bit.ly/rohphotoartmag)
