Hadas Satt // הדס סט

 Well today is grey skies
Tomorrow is tears
You'll have to wait til yesterday is here

Hadas Satt Composes by digital means parts of negative images taken with analog cameras in 35 mm format. She brings together photographs she created from the camera of the American photographer Robert Frank (1924-1019) that she received on loan from curator Ilanit Konopany, and photographs she took with a collection Her own cameras. In this project - a collaboration with the collection of the 19th century photography Israel museum, she was inspired by two photographs that were created or manipulated by two great photographers - Ann Brigman and Gustav la Grey.

Gustave Le Grey creates "the Great Wave" photograph from 1856 with analog tolls. In the printing stage
A hybrid between two photographs brings the appearance of the sky in its exact exposure to the seascape and to the documentation The detailed of the movement of the waves. Ann Brigman in an invincible photograph from 1925 emphasizes the use of soft focus and the hybridization between a woman's body and a tree trunk. In each of Satt's works in the exhibition, She integrates together by digital tolls two analogically created images that their fusion reflects the complexity of the world, and emphasizes the human and emotional experience within it. 

Satt is inspired by the photographic elements of Le Grey and Brigman, and her attitude towards them as spiritual ancestors is present in both the photographic subjects of their work as Observing wild nature and domesticated nature, in landscapes that have not been touched by human hands compared to urban landscapes, and In a technique that focuses on the seam line between images and enables the creation or cancellation of an imagined horizon line.
