Visual artist and photographer Oren Seidner ' s work considers the relationship between direct experience and visual intepretation, Oren uses his personal interpetetion to draw the viewers through a multilayered journey. In his projects that we ' ll be discussing in the following pages Oren has extracted personal reflection in front of everyday life with unconventional sensitiveness, to trigger the viewers ' perceptual parameters. One of the most impressive aspects of Seidner ' s work is the way it accomplishes the difficult task of questioning contemporary visualization practice that intends to draw the viewers into an immersive, intense visual experience: we are very pleased to introduce our readers to his stimulating and multifaceted artistic production.
Hello Oren and welcome to LandEscape: we would start this interview with a couple of questions about your multifaceted background. You have a solid formal training and after having attended the The academy of geographic photography”, Tel Aviv you nurtured your education a portrait photography course at the Gavra Studio, a fashion photography course and the course The dynamic of Creation” BY Mr. Lior Herchkovitz: how does these experiences influence the way you currently conceive your works? And in particular, how does the relationship between your cultural substratum inform the way you relate yourself to the aesthetic problem in general?
I think that studying a variety of styles had given me the opportunity to meet at any time with a different Master of photography, every photographer have a unique worldview( point of view) and other photographers that he admired and learn from them, these meetings have allowed me to expand my horizon to new photographers, I got a lot of information about interesting and special different photographers and Their works, new types of art and how art develops. The more you are exposed to new artists and exhibitions your option to develop and define yourself as an artist becomes greater.
Surely, my works are created intuitively and emotionally, but obviously work I Loved affect me. Also the way I make my photos is using the tools I acquired during my studies. I was fortunate to have the ability to show my Ideas and my initial filming to my mentors and received their insights and tips, introduce me to similar photographers and photographic works and give me ideas on how to promote my work to the next level. I kept doing it until I felt I ' m in a more confident place in my artistic sense and know how to develop my work.
