Hadas Satt:
A Shade Lighter

Hadas Satt's solo show combined photographic works from the previous year: some were installations comprising several photographs, and some were prints of single images. Satt's works were poetic articulations that orchestrated and organized the elementary materials of the image and the human encounter with it: gaze, composition, dimensions, distance, and frames or other display devices. Each work, whether a single image or a series, a diptych or a triptych, was like a capsule containing a summary of events – minor, epic, sometimes banal ones – presented to the viewer in the form of an invitation. Such were the gleaming white gloves, the hands, which were light-boxes, and the tall pine trees.

Fine distances and actions that attempt to cross them were present throughout the show: the hand reaching for a cloud, the tree trunk covering the expanse between earth and sky, or the distance between a human and an animal.
