- Details
History Repeating is the first comprehensive survey of the Israeli-born photographer and video artist Ori Gersht. This richly illustrated book presents the best of Gersht's achingly beautiful images, and explores how he intertwines spectacles of painterly and narrative imagery with personal and collective memory, metaphysical journeys, contextualized spaces and the history of art and photography.
History Repeating demonstrates the thin line between beauty and brutality and the sublime draftsmanship behind history's various traumatic scars. History repeats itself: first as tragedy, then as unexpected beauty.
Exhibition catalogue published to accompany an exhibition of the same name held at the Museum of Fine Art, Boston 25th August 2012 to the 6th January 2013.
