The Library is open
Collages made out of art books & catalogues at the artist's private residence, during Covid 19 quarantine.
״... every day he composed a new collage from the existing materials, and called each of them by the names of their source. The re-framing of the elements he chose, allowed him to preserve some of the characteristics of the photographic action. "I created the series in home intimacy, unlike what I am used to. The new images I composed are characterised by an uncanny atmosphere, and they include many gestures and impossible connections between artists and works from different periods."
He shared the products on social media under the name "The library is open". Over time, more and more collages were added, which together look like a modest visual mapping of works of art."
