That which surrounds us
Orit Siman‑Tov
2016
My photographic strategy is closely connected to my social concept: the reality that I wish to study is not a hermetically sealed moment that can be frozen and epitomized in one frame; rather, it is a dynamic, open series of photographs which, at best, is only one of many potentialities. This strategy, and all of its aesthetic and ethical-social features, can be realized by creating what might seem at first an almost random series of frames, a photographic continuum that tends to be unclean and imperfectly shaped. Series such as these, however, reveal not only the impurity of photography as an act, and not only the open-ended potential (albeit always somewhat tainted) of social life, but also the indivisible link between the two.
