Encounter at the exhibition Ronen Zien: Walking Into (in Hebrew)

Encounter with the exhibition curator, Sophia Berry

Zien employs photography and video to examine the reliability of memory and the possibility of reconstructing it. Using green screen (or chroma-key) – a special effects technique from film and television that enables figures filmed against a green background to be embedded into different settings – he inserts himself into old photographs. Through this process, he explores questions about his familial and local identity. The Hill of Shouts on the Syrian-Israeli border (his home region) is the photographic and conceptual platform of these works.
Zien’s works unravel the dominance of photographic documentation, offering a poetic and deeply personal alternative for revisiting other places and times.
