"Yigal Gawze's photographs capture the abstraction, the simplicity
and the optimism of early modernism in Tel Aviv. He distils the
essence of the Bauhaus to bring it alive in a modern city and
concentrates on the subtle effects of natural light upon
architecture, a technique that the masters of the modern movement
themselves applauded." - Nonie Niesewand, design editor &
author The fragment - an essential part of the structure which
carries within it the genetic code of the whole, is in the core of
this visual inquiry depicting Tel Aviv's White City. The encounter
between a building style originating in Europe and the
Mediterranean glare, is highlighted by the colour photography.
While paying homage to the Bauhaus spirit and the avant-garde
photographers of the 1920s, it is also a tribute to past ideals and
present renewal, enhancing the current relevance of the Modern
Movement in an exceptional urban setting. The images add up to
create a portrait of a place by revealing the poetic essence of its
architecture and the role light takes in shaping it.
