Maintaining the logic of creating models out of photos and photographing them again, This series comprises of images of different architectural forms: interiors of empty movie theaters, buildings of certain modernistic style, that have caught my eye while browsing, both for their formalistic characters and function.
The series is part of the exhibition Search Engine, on show at the Center for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv, through May 2012.
The series Broken houses is based on photographs of abandoned structures neglected by man and destroyed by the weather. I find these photos on the web while pursuing an amateur photographer from North Dakota who obsessively documents the decaying process of these houses. His photographs are used to create small scale models. Afterward, in the studio, the models are photographed again, omitted from their background and placed in gray. Eventually these are digital pigment print size 30×36 cm (16”x18”).
