curator: Roi Kuper The exhibition is of color photographs 52 x 23 cm. {R'R'1} The picture, whether etched into the memory or on paper becomes life's journey. The passages and ambiguity of feelings become an eternal journey of memories spread out like visions before sleep, a carpet of images creating connections from reality but as if an interactive game, changing the context to wants and desires. The shape and color become dominant and seemingly cover, for the brief first gaze, the content. The costume and war paint make an opening for an extended empty journey touching on external and internal compassion as one without any value judgement. On the one hand all is a game, an illusion, but on the other, the passing time creates residue within the heart. Roi Kuper, 2004.
