The Tel Aviv Museum of Art presents Sharon Ya’ari: Leap Toward Yourself an exhibition on view 06 November 2013 – 26 April 2014. The exhibition includes some 80 photograph of varied sizes and formats: color and black-and-white, digital and analog, as well as video works composed from stills, all photographed throughout Israel.
For the past decade, Sharon Ya’ari has described a melancholy state of tension between the ideal and the real. His photography is a scant remnant of the history it describes, with a choice of “small,” almost marginal histories that express the physical and human components of the Israeli locus. The photographs reconstruct a private moment of concentration; an observation seeking to expose and reconstruct traces of action, the way things are placed and accumulated. In Ya’ari’s most recent photographs, representing a kind of archaeology of Being, the viewers seem to participate in a constant transformation of space and time. www.tamuseum.org.il
