David Adika (born 1970, Jerusalem) is a photographer and artist, and Head of the Photography Department at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. For over two decades, his work has explored photography as a tool for storytelling and critical thought, focusing on portraits of people and objects with political, personal, and social contexts. Adika photographs decorative items such as Israeli ceramics and Middle Eastern copperware, imbuing them with a sense of everyday, incidental beauty while leaving interpretation to the viewer. His practice creates new relationships between object, image, and value, confronting cultural and political connotations. He has exhibited in international institutions and events, won notable awards, and participated in artist residency programs worldwide, including at Artport, New York, Paris, and Barcelona.
