Digi Dekel, a Romanian born Israeli photographer will be showing a selection of works from his most recent project, "INs and OUTs", at the Romanian Cultural Institute in Tel Aviv. The images in this series present subjective views of the subjects, through successive impressions of the negatives on the photographic paper, using classic photo techniques. This means that every piece of work is unique, even though every photo negative can be transposed into an infinite number of photographs.
The multiple layers of images create compositions that deny the bi-dimensional state of the paper. The dream-like atmosphere, the refined details of every composition and the subtle colors transport us to a special world, where the images, and not the words, talk.
"The premise of Digi Dekel´s photographs is the fusion between the subject of the photo and the traditional photo techniques that he uses. The final result, impossible to avoid in his opinion, is the consequence of the mental state of the photographer, in the moment of the developing." (Yaniv Shapira, February 2007, www.kibbutzgallery.org.il)
Born in Romania, in 1958, Digi Dekel settled in Israel in 1964, together with his family. Since 1977, he has lived and worked at Kibbutz Samar. He started working as a photo-journalist in 1987. Since1993, he has participated in group exhibitions, organized by leading curators, such as Tali Tamir, Yaniv Shapira and Gideon Efrat. He has also held one-man exhibitions in galleries and special venues in Israel.
The exhibition "INs and OUTs" is part of the series of events organized by the Romanian Cultural Institute in Tel Aviv, which presents works by Romanian-Israeli artists.
