Like light on the eye which has adjusted to darkness

The book consists of various transparent papers, plexiglas, photography, and printing.
‘An Artist book’ is a step in a research based on creation. It’s an assemblage of visual text, which enables a dialogue between the objects and their representation; a kind of a union between the text and reader being enlivened by means of visual reading.
The artwork corresponds with the concept of “the new vision”, and provides a reading experience by means of photographing, digitization and print; by the relations between the layers of paper and the image, between transparency and opacity, fullness and emptiness, lacking interpretation, exposed to
various meanings.
The "new vision" trend is a historically unique phenomenon of modern Avant-garde photography, which appeared simultaneously in various centers throughout Europe and later in the United States.
From: the LUMA exhibition catalog - modern photography in the first half of the 20th century. Curator and editor Aya Luria, Spielman Institute of Photography, 2012.
The title of the book is a quote from a poem by poet Eli Eliahu
