Summary:

"In the past fifteen years, Yair Barak has created a wide, consolidated body of work that places him with the most interesting and important voices of Israeli photography. His current exhibition displays an extensive creative range whose photographic context reflects an intensive study of power, institutional historical representations and the visual and ideological nature of photography. Alongside works that conform to traditional photographic genres, Barak "invades" territories of installation and sculpture, thus extending the discourse of his work. The riddle Barak offers in his photographs requires deep study and careful reading, summoning the viewer on to a fascinating journey in the kingdom of imagery, in the world of the concept within the maze of Western culture. The exhibition, which enfolds great beauty together with serene melancholy, opens with the sound of many waters gushing into a lake, and closes with a disconcerting silence that echoes over a long line of poetic photographs: some are direct, with a simplicity that asserts random, seemingly void encounters between gaze and object, whereas others are unraveled and disrupted, demanding from the viewer careful untangling and deciphering"--From artist's web page.
