With The Jerusalem Biennale

Artists: Yoram Buzaglo, Haim Deuel Lusky, Lea Golda Holterman, Yael Kaplan, Aharon Kritzer, Ernesto Levy, Alicia Shahaf

The exhibition explores the mystical image of photography in Israel, and serves as a model for a future exhibition. Mystical photography associates the manifestation of light with the manifestation of the creative self as part of an interpretive, psychological action connected to Kabbalistic mysticism. These ideas are joined by Walter Benjamin’s concept of the aura, and a discussion on the physical and metaphysical nature of light in photography.
