Curator: Ruven Kuperman Gustavo Sagorsky, born 1975, Argentina, immigrated to Israel in 1998. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with honors from the photography department at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, and his MFA in 2007. At first sight, the photographs in Gustavo’s exhibition appear as enigmatic references where not much is happening. After a dedicated view, details appear, ones that reveal the place – Jerusalem. Gustavo’s Jerusalem is sensual, compiled, poetic and rural. It seems that this view is created by the disrupted proportions and the use of light that illuminates the photographed locations as if they were models. Gustavo wanders around these sites, suddenly capturing things not previously noticed or experienced, however often he had passed by them before. His photographs are the outcome of that moment (perhaps meditative moment), in which the reference is reflected as the sight of the soul. In the work “Observing People” three meticulously dressed women look at flowers (or at a plastic bag). Are they the women from Paris’s trial? A man dressed in black holds a black bag, looking down. His hunched back raises the association of death in the same manner as do the black figures in Edvard Munch’s paintings. Gustavo's photographs are characterized by an Impressionist ambience, in which different thoughts momentarily float to the surface.
