Ori Gersht: Slivers

Ori Gersht (b. 1967) explores the boundaries of photography and challenges its technical limitations. In his new body of work, he creates artificial flowers inspired by Jan Brueghel the Elder, surrounds them with mirror-walls which he then shatters, and documents everything with video and stills. The result intertwines beauty and destruction and raises questions about the natural and the artificial, fragility and death, manipulation and the imperceptible to the eye.
