Encounter. 4 Artist Exhibition, Kyoto, Japan, 2017
4 artists, 4 lives converge in Kyoto. We meet here, a city of art, culture, history and future possibilities. We come from Israel, Slovenia, Poland and Britain and somehow it clicks. We hit it off. From the first spark of connection we talked, laughed, exchanged views, listened deeply to each other, wanted to learn from each other and to do something creative together. We use different media – photography, mixed media, sumi ink. This exhibition is a result of our encounter, and the first step of a new journey exploring what it may bring.
アート、文化、未来の可能性の街、京都での出会い。
4人のアーテイスト、4つの人生。
出身の国はイスラエル、スロベニア、ポーランド、イギリス。
出会った瞬間から相性 が合い、なにげなくひっかかりを覚えた。
よくおしゃべりし、よく笑い、お互いの意見に耳を傾け、学び合った。
何か、クリエーテイブナことに挑戦したくなった。
4人は写真、ミクスメデイア、墨、多様な手段を用いている。
この展覧会は、私たちの「エンカウンター」の結果であり、4人での旅の第一歩。
新たな創造の出発となるかもしれない。

Memorial Day, 2005
Cypress trees are deeply related in the Mediterranean cultures to death and eternity. These trees I see from my home are also a lovely viewpoint. Every year on the Memorial day a siren is heard all over Israel. People stop everything and stand. I took this footage on a memorial day standing outside looking at the trees. I share it on the Internet once a year as a candle.
