Description Ori Gersht - Original C-Print - White Noise -Rare!! Item Description Ori Gersht – White Noise – C-Print mounted on aluminum Gorgeous Huge Silverprint, ready to hang Professionally mounted on aluminum and ready to hang Date – 1999 Measures: 58” x 74”, unframed From www.nogagallery.co.il White Noise The images are result of a photographic search of the lost past. The images were produced during a journey between Auschwitz and Belzec. The journey was based on Martin Gilbert's book, 'The Holocaust Journey'. In the book Gilbert and a group of students traveled through Eastern Europe. Their journey was guided by the relics and traces of the lost Jewish past. Gilbert's insightful account allowed me to dig below the surfaces, to extract and identify silent witnesses, to attach the still standing trees and walls to specific events. At all time, I was aware to the photographic impossibility of the subject; how can I describe the indescribable, or as Theodor Adorno once put it; how can anyone write lyric poetry after Auschwitz? I resolved the paradox with white monochromes, non-descriptive silences, images of burned soil covered by virginal snow. While traveling on trains, I looked through the windows, taking pictures of the passing time. Examining at the exact landscape, attempting to grasp the tangible but always submitting to fleeting moments. Condition is good. There is a small blemish in the left center, smaller than a dime, not sure what this is, it may be part of the developing process. Also a small scuff 3” long, center middle and a longer scuff, 16” long along the botm edge. Top left corner is very slightly dented. Still looks incredible. Good luck with the auction!
