Description

Tel Aviv celebrates its 100th birthday and on this occasion the Embassy of Israel in Cyprus organizes a photographic exhibition of the popular alternative photographer Alex Levac.

Alex Levac's photographs nearly always tell a story or at least aim at a story. Many of Alex Levac's photographs are like that: episodes of waiting and about waiting, of situations that are in-between, of the suspension of swift time. This waiting, the photographs seem to say, is not banal or empty. On the contrary: The waiting is itself the real event, the highly charged occurrence, the story that is often not just one story but rather a number of stories that are rubbing up against one another and leaving the viewer with the vivid impression of the friction more than they impress him with a single, crystallized, orderly plot.
