A Look at the Collection — Encounters in the Photography Study Room / Alex Farfuri (in Hebrew)

The Tel Aviv Museum of Art marks a decade of the Lauren and Mitchell Presser Photography Award for a Young Israeli Artist.

To celebrate the occasion, the museum invites the public to a unique series of encounters with the photography collection. In each meeting, participants will be invited into the heart of the collection, to spend time among the works held in it, and to meet one leading photographer.

Works from the collection will be presented for a double discussion: on the one hand, the conversation will consider selected works from the history of photography; on the other, it will focus on the invited artist’s own body of work, and on shared sources of inspiration—between their photographs and the photograph presented.

This is a rare opportunity to view works from the collection alongside a discussion of working processes, shared histories, and photographic language.

Alex Farfuri is a street photographer and documentary creator. Her work documents public life in Israel—everyday historic moments, street photography, and conceptual projects. She is a self-taught artist engaged in visual research and social documentation, focusing on questions of identity, time, and belonging.

Her work has been shown in museum contexts, festivals, and public projects, including MUZA, Eretz Israel Museum, Tel Aviv, and Docaviv. In 2023 she won Video of the Year in the framework of Local Testimony (Edut Mekomit).

In 2024 she created video works for the main stage at the Israel Festival; and in 2025 she initiated, curated, and moderated the event “Documentary Highlights: From Mobile to Cinema” at Docaviv, focusing on the meeting point between stories (short-form social video), social networks, and documentary cinema.
