Arnon Toussia Cohen Through the Looking Glass / The Jerusalem Artists Houseטלפון - 02-6253653 14/06/2008 to - 19/07/2008 Curator: Sheffy Bleier Arnon Toussia-Cohen spent months at the University train station, gazing through his camera at passengers on the trains waiting at the station. His course of action was simple and direct, without technical manipulation of any sort. He does not know his subjects, does not light them or request their permission to be photographed. On the contrary; they are unaware of his presence and certainly not of his camera's presence. The silent meditative attentiveness of the human soul defines these works. The women's introverted concentration exposes with gentle sensitively a rare intimacy, spared of consciousness and premeditation in a public space. The invasion of the private space occurs in the commotion of the public space on the train, there in the carriages, amongst the fervor and murmur of cellular phone and endless idle chatter, in the place where you watch and are watched, the place in which your privacy is expropriated; there the intimate is exposed and takes form. location - The Jerusalem Artists House Time - 14/06/2008 to - 19/07/2008 |
