Eldad Menuchin's Photography Books
Eldad Menuchin is a photographer who makes books that bring together his wanderings. So far, he has placed under his skilled hand five artist's books, most of them handmade in limited editions. Each book is a result of experimenting with a specific analog camera and/or a unique printing technique. In Ride the Crash, Menuchin prints images taken over six years across the country, on over-dated analog color paper. Abu Suwra is a photographic performance held in a white tent with an old large-format camera fixed especially for the occasion. In the book Concrete, Menuchin photographs in black and white film sites and public spaces from his childhood that hold dreams and affinities of identity. Tzabar collects 16 color photographs in a single edition, made in correspondence with prints made locally in the 19th century. And in Gone Bad, he deals with the failures that worn cameras produce in a collection that links a desire for the visual with the entropy of matter, and between the passion to look at this land and the difficulty of doing so.
