LISTEN TO ME
Alicia Shahaf
Listen to me.
In search of true love, I get to this place. It is so wrong.
​
The loops deal with movement. Movement in different spaces, a movement that peeps out of windows, sometime hides and sometime is revealed in the branches of the trees.
​
It's a simple, submissive gesture. It exists in the spaces between the breath of the here and now.
​
I create a world composed of moments and images that do not exist in reality.

The Artist
​
"An artist, a teacher, a photographer, story teller
I love stories: Life stories, questions of human mental sanity boundaries, cultural identity and gender identity, memory and how them affect life stories.
​
My family history makes me want to explore and touch an exposed nerve. Memories, words, pain, and love. The narrative of the images I create range from private to general, between the intimate and personal to political and social.
My cultural space was created from the inside and from the ongoing movement – between countries and languages, and from the dialogues with creators from different artistic disciplines.
Each series of works begin with an idea, when photography is a visual basis.
​
From there I go off on a long artistic language search of the correct and accurate for all series: photography, manipulated photography, photo sequence, motion photography, text and sound".
