Avivit Segal

When I photograph I aim for the meeting point between the concrete
photograph and the abstract image.

The white expanse created in consequence of overexposure is meaningful for me. In the quest for the “naked” picture I try to reach
the outcome of timeless conciseness and clarity.
Overexposure conceals details, which are unnecessary to me, yet
remain as a “ghost” in the final result.

The white expanse is the midst between the physical world and the
metaphysical world, which allows the presence of silence, the “pause” between the words, thus reinforcing the images themselves.

The thin deployed line between the revealed and the not revealed.
The photograph represents a reality without time or place.
The work I do is the dismantling of reality and it’s reassembling.
