Agora Gallery is pleased to present a compelling collection of photography by Shai Kremer, a visionary artist known for his exploration of visual and metaphorical layers. The exhibition features works from two distinct series:
The first series, The edge of knowledge, embarks on a cosmic and philosophical journey inspired by Heidegger's question: "Why is there something instead of nothing?" Kremer's innovative approach weaves together views of the Earth and the moon with microscopic images of biological cells, creating a profound visual metaphor that probes our origins and destinations. This series challenges conventional understandings of scale, time, and existence.
The second series, Concrete abstract, showcases Kremer’s intricate technique of overlaying more than 60 photographs to document the reconstruction of the World Trade Center. These dynamic compositions balance chaos and order, reflecting a city caught in perpetual cycles of destruction and renewal. Influenced by the "pictorial dynamism" of the Futurists, Kremer's work adopts a more dramatic and impersonal tone, presenting a multifaceted narrative that embraces complexity and multiple perspectives in response to modern realities.
We invite you to explore Kremer’s powerful visual statements and engage with the rich layers of meaning embedded in his work.
