PAST EXHIBITION

After Mars: Photography by Tamir Sher

November 22, 2007—January 5, 2008

After seeing images taken by the recent space shuttle to Mars, Tamir Sher was inspired to take a planetary perspective of his hometown, Tel Aviv.  The result was AFTER MARS, a collection of photographs that tell us about a world capable of changing completely and about the moments of awe that follow.

In part of the collection (originally entitled, “Mars”) Sher's photos explore how we might appear to creatures from another world, rather than how they might appear to us.  In the other half of the collection (entitled “After Mars”), Sher takes scenes from childhood – the moments of wonder and amazement at the world – and gives them an intimidating touch to reflect the way we might ponder our world’s changes.  Light floods these candid shots, presenting each child as otherworldly and one that humanity might depend on as a potential savior.
