A Guide to A Novice Photographer
Yehoshua (Shuka) Glotman
1993
The original book, which deals with photography, was published in a popular young adult edition by Penguin Publishing. It was printed in several languages using the original book’s plates that featured European illustrations even though the editions were published in other parts of the world and in different languages. I found the book while wandering in Israel’s mixed cities. I made my own interventions in it with drawings, paintings and gluing. It contains proverbs translated from Arabic, such as “the blindness of the eye is better than the blindness of the heart.”

Yehoshua (Shuka) Glotman was born in 1953 in Tel Aviv-Jaffa and lives and works in Abirim in the western Galilee. He is a multi-disciplinary artist, curator and teacher, and is also a facilitator for Israeli-Palestinian dialogue. Glotman studied in the photography department at Hadassah College in Jerusalem and the University of Westminster in London. His photography, photomontage and video work relate to the Israeli reality and its unique inter cultural situations. In 2015, he published a second edition of his artist book An Israeli’s Album, first published in the 1980s and became a cornerstone in the field of Israeli photography.
