AILON GLITZENSTEIN

Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition
August 19 – August 30, 2017
Reception: Saturday, August 19, 2017 6-8 PM

For Israeli Ailon Glitzenstein, photography has been a way to come to terms with his evolving sense of patriotism. Glitz’s mandatory military service in the Israeli Defense Forces, along with his shifting experiences with religious communities, resulted in feelings of detachment from Israel as a political entity. His solution came through his camera as he wanted to reclaim his relation to Israel through its natural beauty. His intricate black-and-white photographs aim to capture the silence of the Israeli landscape in a way that’s acultural and, as a result, transcendent.
