Photographic Exhibit - Zeev Deckel January 2005, Windows Gallery, 3 rd floor of Azriely Mall Black and white, light and shadow, gleaming and shady, all of these are opposites connected to each other, sculpting a different view from every angle and time of day. Sometimes the light is considerable, other times the shade is dominant - inseparable opposites are intertwined in the texture and tapestry. The kingdom of shadow is the night without light there is no image. Darkness abounds. Black and white are the boundaries of color. Infinite shades of gray reside between white and the black. Color begins to show when the intensity of light changes; Infinite hues can be found between the boundaries of black and white. In the morning and the evening the light is reddish and the shadows are long. The shadow gets shorter and almost disappears when the sun is directly above us. The light defines the contours of objects and accentuates the feeling of depth and dimension. With opaque objects the light draws silhouettes; with transparent objects the surfaces become colorful. Transparency has limitless number of hues and textures. Visible color is the result of light, giving the viewer a sense of differentiation of surfaces, contours, textures and hues. All of these components play a roll when I search for the correct expression and affect my approach to the subject; they all serve as element in the composition. This collection of images is a visual expression of the games of transparency of light and shadow. There are times that the subject of the image emerges spontaneously responding to the whim of light; other times the image is created by taking advantage of the exposure of the beam of light that takes the subject out of its original context.
