Blurred landscapes, falling trees and the lofty peaks of the
Pyrenees - the extraordinary aesthetics of Ori Gersht's work seduce
the viewer. But beneath the beautiful first appearances lie the
sites of historical events - in this way the artist makes visible
what is no longer plain to see. Ori Gersht (* 1967) views the
landscape as the location of past events. On his journeys he
follows the traces of the past and translates the process of
remembering into powerfully expressive images. The impressive
panorama of the Pyrenees, for example, is a site of a desperate
flight from the National Socialists. His works of art are metaphors
for the unsolvable relationships between past and present, between
life and death. They are in the liminal space between (natural)
forces and destruction on the one hand, and beauty and grandeur on
the other. The images unfold their poetry and horror simultaneously
in an extensive pictorial series.
