Jerusalem Beach
Yehoshua (Shuka) Glotman

The photographs in the book were taken using a plastic reusable camera that took 110 film that came with a pack of toilet paper I had purchased. Sometime back in the late 1980s, I was wandering around the city of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, which is also the city of my childhood and I rediscovered it in the process. The developing process of 110 film was quite poor and I would get back the film full of scratches. I had to do a lot of retouching. I created a connection between digital technology and a very “amateur” process.

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.
