Mirror Stage, 2012
Ilit Azoulay
Inkjet print
In Mirror Stage, Ilit Azoulay combines images of a building taken at various angles and vantage points to create a new, digitally fabricated interior. The panorama is part of her series Imaginary Order (2008-2017). The project focused on the renovation of a well-known Brutalist-style building in the Israeli town of Zichron Ya'Akov. The artist photographed the structure over the course of seven years as it was transformed from a convalescent home into an art center and luxury hotel. The building's shift in function paralleled socio-political changes as Israel moved away from socialism to a capitalist economic model. Azoulay's re-creation merges elements of past, present, and future, to fabricate a never-to-be realized photographic plan.

It looks very interesting and futuristic. and I like the whole concept of it all, of creating a new world with preexisting bits and pieces. That’s art!

Well said Gabriella.
Speaking of art…. I sent someone to you that’s trying to identify a possible Jacob Ward painting he found in his attic. He’s a distant relative of the painter. I thought perhaps you might know someone that could help him. 🙂

I’m so very flattered! I got an email, yes. Unfortunately I couldn’t be of much help…

Hey, art, an adventure, and mystery, you were the first person I thought of. 🙂
I also gave him a link to the Smithsonian so hopefully that will help. Thanks.
