Living Room

The five participating artists met during their studies in the Departments of Photography and of Fine Art at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem. They completed their BFAs in the late 1990s, and have since continued studying, teaching and exhibiting in various venues, all the while maintaining their friendly relations and professional collaboration. While their areas of activity are ostensibly tangential, they each construct unique, highly divergent thematic, mental and formal worlds. Ten years after their graduation, this exhibition seeks to explore the overall position generated and proposed by their different work processes with regard to both the history of the photographic medium and the notion of portraiture. Concurrently, it endeavors to explore the very essence of the transition from analog to digital photography and the different manners in which this transition has influenced culture in general and photography in particular.
