An Archeology of Fear and Desire. |
|---|---|
| Scope and content |
Between 2007 and 2012, Frédéric Brenner led the overall project and made his own photographs, working with an 8 x 10 inch large-format camera, and for the first time in colour. His first photograph, the ‘Palace Hotel’, in 2009, became the prompt for his pungent and compassionate representation of life in contemporary Israel and of the promise attached to this land. He explored longing, belonging and exclusion in a land of devouring myths, in which social and religious constructs perpetuate a tyranny of roles that render us strangers to what is most intimate in ourselves. |
