The exhibition will focus on the link between poetry and photography and the “Canaanite” movement which was founded in 1939 and included prominent culture figures such as Jonathan Ratush, Aaron Amir and Yitzhak Danziger.
The exhibition examine the influences of the Canaanite movement on Israeli photography, through the juxtaposition of Canaanite poets with their contemporary photographers such as Micha Baram, Dalia Amotz, and others alongside younger photographers, such as Adi Nes, Anat Zuckerman, and David Adika. With this curatorial act the exhibition seeks to offer a different point of view from that of previous exhibitions (“New Canaanites”, “New Nimrods”), and look at the interdisciplinary connection between poetry and photography that documents sculpture, photography per se, and sound.
The exhibition is part of “Fotopoetica” – Poetry and Photography under one roof in Musrara galleries.
among the participating : Yossi Berger, David Adika, Yizhak Danziger, Yehiel Shemi, Avraham Melnikov, Benjamin Tammuz, Amos Kenan
