There Is No Thing That Has Not Its Place

Yehoshua (Shuka) Glotman

2009

I am fascinated by wall notices spontaneously put up in the urban space. Once upon a time, before the Internet, it was more common, and before the advent of the home printer, ads were written by hand. Handwriting today is almost a thing of the past in the public sphere. This book is a collage that creates a narrative from wall notices pasted inside a sketchbook that my daughter brought me as a gift from India. The title of the book is important for understanding the sequence. Many times I look up words in the dictionary to get inspiration from phrases and quotes. I found this title in one of the dictionaries. The wall ads on the street capture time and place, just like a photograph.

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.
