About event
Misha Bar-Am's photographic archive represents almost all the years of the existence of the State of Israel. Several decades, invaluable documents of time in thousands of frames, a record of the present, which years later we look at as the greatest evidence of time. A conversation about how the context of an artist's work affects our perception of the artist. How, conversely, the artist himself is influenced by the context.
Photographs during the war are a fixation of reality, but is there room here for aestheticizing its horrors and death?
