Exploding flower arrangements, meticulously staged scenes of beautiful destruction, haunted landscapes, still lives brought to their sublime end as if a host of angels unfolded their terrible wings just a bit too close.... Ori Gersht's photographs are unlike anything you've seen before.
Gersht was born in Israel in 1967, but has lived in London for over 30 years. His photographs, films and books are concerned with the relationships between history, memory and landscape - and with the way we still look at photographs as giving us the 'real,' although we know the naked eye cannot perceive what the camera distills.
We were absolutely thrilled Ori was willing to answer the questions first made famous by Proust. He's not a Romantic, really, but as close to a mystic as you may find in today's world of photography and art. His website is origersht.com, and you should absolutely check it out.
