[ISEA2015] Artist Statement: Jakob Torel – A LITTLE GIRL WITH APPLES AND A FLICKERING BULB

Artist Statement

Video (2013)

In this piece the artist layers multiple versions of a photograph from a night market in X’ian, China. Merged with the sampled sound of a flickering light bulb, the work attempts to create a sustained sense of experiential disruption.

  • Jakob Torel’s practice deals mainly with the archival meaning of photographs and its capacity to examine the past. Torel has exhibited in several group shows in Israel, including Inga Gallery in Tel Aviv, Israel.
