Ori Gersht : Places That Were Not

About

Mummery + Schnelle is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Ori Gersht.
The exhibition will comprise photographs from two bodies of work made in 2008 and 2009, Evaders and Hide and Seek. As in previous series, Gersht's depictions of landscape address ideas about memory, history and identity. They are images of places or journeys that are simultaneously physical and metaphysical, partly real and partly mythological. Photography's claim to truth is questioned and rather than being presented with the depiction of a specific moment in time, the viewer is left instead with images that are suggestive of something that happened in the past, or might happen in the future.
