Through the ages the invention of new optical devices has shaped human perceptions of reality and redefined the physical as well as metaphysical boundaries of the world in which we live. Ori Gersht will contextualize his own practice in relation to technology, history, and art history, weaving between the personal and the general. He will locate the medium of photography within the context of art history and also discuss the relationships of photography with memory, truth, and the fundamental need to anchor our existence in something that can be defined as objective. Gersht is an Israeli fine-art photographer who works and teaches in London. His photography has been the subject of dozens of museum exhibitions around the world.
