"Gallery G-77 presents an exhibition by Israeli photographers Anna Hayat and Slava Pirsky titled 'Existence,' as part of the program KG+ (festival Kyotographie 2024).
Through large-format black-and-white Polaroid photographs, both taken within and outside the studio, they explore themes of trauma, self-sacrifice, and the fragility of life within Israeli society, deeply affected by ongoing war and terror. Departing from strict documentary representation, their works construct metaphorical imagery resonating with current events. The exhibition, united by a cohesive style and theme, includes the main series "My Personal Jesus," blending Renaissance aesthetics with modern photography. Responding to the October 7th terrorist attack, the artists present new works reflecting a direct approach, evoking empathy and contemplation. Experimenting with materials and techniques, they create photographs that appear as historical artifacts, conveying the passage of time and adding layers of intrigue to the viewer's experience.
