The 4th Exhibition of the Nidbah 11 Series: Persona

The fourth exhibition of the Nidbah 11 series

It is possible to view a photograph as a sort of tunnel or canal leading the viewer directly to the object of the photo – an act that transforms it into a transparent, non-existing medium. Often, the photo ”asks” to be transformed into a dimensional object, . . . independent, existing by reason and means of itself – neutralizing its source in order to achieve a unique and distinct identity. . . . Smadar Gonen frames, dissects and reconstructs the object of the photo – allowing it to stand alone.” From the exhibition text by Micky Kratsman
