Silence Lost
Yehoshua (Shuka) Glotman
2006
This is a case and inside it is a page, folded like an accordion, with photos and texts on both sides. It also contains a DVD with an 18-minute film. The film deals with the phenomenon of noise pollution, which takes a huge toll on health. In the text I talk about the emotional aspects of vision, and in the contexts of body and soul. The case was created for an exhibition at the Mishkan Museum of Art in Ein Harod, where the film was also screened and I presented the series “Dwellings of Dust and Grace” (Live Photography, curator: Galia Bar-Or, Mishkan Museum of Art, Ein Harod, September 2006).

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.
