Preview

The series by Yoav Friedlander was selected by A. D. Coleman, Critic, Historian, Educator and Curator, Photocritic, and Elizabeth Avedon, Curator, Exhibition and Book Designer, Photo Journal, L’Oeil de la Photographie, during portfolios reviews organized by The New York Chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP NY) on February 18th, 2015, in New York.

I grew up in the valleys of the Judean Desert between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. My work presents the chaotic perception of an “Americanized Israeli”; composed of mediated American culture, desert landscapes, and war, which became integral throughout my life. I mix Scale models with straight photographs, both of Israel and the US, and I form a conjunction between two different cultures and sets of geographical locations. The work is based on the recognition that our world is informed by images, as Photographs represent, and at times replace – experiences, memories and landscapes. I studied at Hadassah College, Jerusalem, Israel (B.A, 2011) and at The School Of Visual Arts (MFA, 2014). Today I am based in Forest Hills, Queens NY.
