ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The light is the photographic object. By direct photography combined with body and camera movements in various rhythms a new reality is created, with no clue about a location, space or distinct meaning, alluring the viewer to contemplate his/her space perception.

AUTHOR
Born in 1956, Hayah Sheps-Avtalion is an artist based in Ramat HaSharon, Israel.
She studied at Bet Berel College – Faculty of Art- Hamisrasha, Israel (2016) and photography at Blake College in London (2009) following a fulfilling career in the High-Tech industry.
Her photography aspires to explore the potential of the medium, wishing to create a new reality. It is inspired by works of the “New Vision” photographers and the “Concrete Photography” genre.
In her practice, light is the photographic object, using direct photography combined with body and camera movements in various rhythms. In this process light and time fragments are frozen, decomposed and recombined to create images that contain movement, body and space. There is no clue in the images about a specific location or space and they have no distinct meaning. The space perception is an outcome of the viewer contemplation.
The works do not represent the apparent reality, they represent the photographic process in which light is transformed into drawing, matter, a form of sculpture and void which apparently is nothing, but it is the thing itself.
