“Israel. A fickle reality, oscillates between peace and war, anger and hatred. Inside of this whole chaos, there are some simple-poetic-little moments that disappear from our eyes. I think that these are the moments that compose the story of our society. In the project “Something from here” I chose to observe the routine of israel’s landscapes and to Isolate the presence that disappears in the ordinary daily life. I wandered with my camera for about a year, through the length and breadth of the country. From the nervous and noisy cities through military training areas to the quiet peripheral. I looked for the usual, the simplest, the boring. The project touches on different experiences that I’m apart of, as any other israelis. The collection of photographs strengthens a local story, fragmentary – not continuous. The observers have the freedom to build their own plot.
The project was published as hardcover book combined with a short poetic words (Haiku) inspired by the photographs.”
