“Nolan’s book also hints at uncertainties through its structure, which allows the pages of text at the bottom of each image to be moved independently of the shots. Pairing different phrases with different images allows each to be read differently in turn, new combinations creating new meanings like a complicated game of Exquisite Corpse.” – Diane Smyth, Photomonitor
“Neither is a combination of pensive portraits and largely austere takes on Kaliningrad today. A mixed bag of cultural markers manifest in its structures, corridors and corners, in faded signs and worn remains, and everything damp. The images are animated by two sets of writings. Both the diaristic musings of her contemporary subjects and the reflective texts of Russian women relocated to Kaliningrad in 1945 tap into present anxieties and future hopes, and a sought after distillation of self and home.” – Karen Jenkins, Photo-eye
“Neither is a really smart book that is beautifully produced and thought out … It’s another example of a book re-examining the aftermath of the Second World War, this time from the perspective of the Russian women who moved into the city in 1945 and the women who live there now. And it is these perspectives that appear in the cracks of the image, mirroring the texts past and present.” Colin Pantall
“What results is a multi-dimensional photobook that is a mash-up of written narratives and visual poetry that attempts to investigate feminist identity in the context of a memory of an ambiguous place.” Douglas Stockdale, The Photobook
“What the title of the work points to is this sense of exclusion, of being, as it were, neither one nor the other, and Nolan is able to describe this intangible state in her sensitive portraits especially. Her subjects appear at once as individuals with particular lives and stories of their own, but also exemplars of the historical situation in which they find themselves.” Darren Campion, The Incoherent Light Journal
