Irina Rozovsky (MCC ’09 Photography Finalist) is in the process of publishing a book of a new project called One to Nothing. Some of the photographs will be on display at the Photographic Resource Center’s exhibition EXPOSURE:The 15th Annual PRC Juried Exhibition. We asked Irina to tell us more about her recent work depicting images of Israel.
“One to Nothing hints at an existential battle: a confrontation between the individual and the abyss, where “nothing” is much bigger and greater than any single “one” could be.”
“These photographs were made in Israel, a place of historic conflict where it is not always clear who is the victor and the victim.”
“But these images are not political. Instead, Israel here serves as an abstract, mythological background.”
“Depicted is a land charged and tangled by questions that cannot be answered.”
“Echoes of the origins of man murmur in the desert sun, and once in a while, from beneath the weight of dusty struggles wafts a breeze and alleviates the tension.”
