Panorama is born with a very specific mission: to help create and reinforce a global consciousness regarding the different challenges we as a society face in terms of landscape and territory.

For that reason, we’ve decided to create this platform to join together artistic projects with didactic content to attempt to reach, in the easiest and most comprehensive way, this reflexion to a large part of the society.

We believe that artistic projects accompanied by specialized texts are the best tool for any person, even those who haven’t  shown interest in this subjects before, to understand how as a society we need to reflect on our relationship with landscape and territory.

With this idea Panorama aims to become a big archive where anyone can meet and consult the different authors regarding this matters. And what’s also important, to contemplate them from different points of view.

Panorama nace con una misión muy concreta: ayudar a crear/reforzar una conciencia global sobre los distintos retos que tenemos como sociedad en relación al territorio y al paisaje.

Para ello, hemos decidido crear esta plataforma que aglutina proyectos artísticos con contenidos didácticos para intentar hacer llegar, de la manera más fácil y entendedora posible, esta reflexión a un amplio conjunto de la sociedad.

Creemos que los proyectos artísticos acompañados de textos especializados son la mejor herramienta para que cualquier persona, aunque nunca antes se haya interesado por estos temas, pueda comprender que como sociedad tenemos que hacer una reflexión sobre nuestra relación con el territorio y el paisaje.

Panorama pretende con esta idea convertirse en un gran archivo donde cualquiera pueda conocer y consultar los distintos autores que trabajan en torno a estas cuestiones. Y lo que también es muy importante, contemplarlas desde distintos puntos de vista.

Panorama neix amb un objectiu molt concret: ajudar a crear/reforçar una consciència global sobre els diferents reptes que tenim com a societat en relació al territori i al paisatge.

Per això, hem decidit aquesta plataforma que aglutina projectes artístics amb continguts didàctics per intentar fer arribar, de la manera més fàcil y comprensible possible, aquesta reflexió a un ampli conjunt de la societat.

Creiem que els projectes artístics acompanyats de textos especialitzats son la millor eina per a que qualsevol persona, tot i que no s’hagi interessat mai abans per aquests temes, pugui comprendre que com a societat hem de fer una reflexió sobre la nostre relació amb el territori i el paisatge.

Panorama pretén amb aquesta idea convertir-se en un gran arxiu on qualsevol pugui conèixer i consultar els diversos autors que treballen a l’entorn d’aquestes qüestions. I el que també és molt important, contemplar-les des de diferents punts de vista.

The Great Rift Valley or the “Syrian – African Break” in Hebrew, is a continuous geographic trench caused 35 million years ago by movement of tectonic plates. This topographic phenomenon which crosses contemporary Israel is carving out the Jordan River, the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea and the Red Sea and shapes the physical borders of the Israeli State. With Lebanon and Syria in the north, Jordan along the eastern front and with Egypt in the south.

Route 90 is the longest single road in Israel (470km). It follows the valley floor of the ‘Break’ from north to south, border to border and via the West Bank in parts. In this body of works, I import the notion of the epic American road-trips, endless roads and vast open spaces, into the Israeli small and confined territory. 

Although the ‘break’ describes the physical features of the Great Rift Valley, it is also a metaphor for a certain sentiment, towards the land of contradictions I used to call home.

With the use of large format camera, I transform the relics into monuments and alter the space into a complex photographic perspective; Poetic and laced with empathy yet tinged with irony and underlying ideological tones. Ambiguity runs through the works and sews them together in this ongoing dialogue between the mundane and the sublime.

I am a London based – Israeli artist (b.1985)

I grew up on a Kibbutz, located on the northern Israeli border with Lebanon. In 2009 I moved to Tel Aviv, where I completed a BA Photography in 2013. After years of investigating the Israeli landscape, its geography, historical narratives and my own biography, I left Israel in 2018. 

My photographic practice is concerned with landscape as a complex intersection between culture, geography and autobiography. The effects of human activity on land, political borders and ecology are amongst the issues investigated in my work. The use of large format camera and film creates a multi-layered photographic perspective; pictorial and alluring yet seeking to disrupt traditional modes of landscape representation.
