Can We Watch TV?
Archival inks on photo rag (fine art) paper, 30x42 cm, edition of 3

In the documentary photographs presented in this exhibition, three little girls are watching television. From the scene of the action – their parents’ double bed – either sitting, lying down, or jumping, their gaze is focused on a high and unseen spot: the TV set that is always outside the frame. Like the unseen screen the photographer, too, is absent-present. Only we can see him seeing them seeing something else.

Commissioned by the Tova Osman Art Gallery, Tel Aviv, 2009
