In Morel Derfler’s photograms, one may discern a line marking the ground. There is little terrain above it, and multiple depth layers below, teeming with action, containing an element of reality with conspicuous signs of conflict.
Derfler, an artist and a lecturer at the Musrara School, was killed in a suicide bombing at the Nahariya train station in 2001. The exhibition was constructed as a dialogue with his oeuvre. The featured works examine the way we observe the local space and formulate a narrative for ourselves, characterized by slow, gradual refinement of the gaze at the geopolitical sphere in Israel.
