THIS PLACE:
Israel Through Photography’s Lens

NTRIGUING. INSIGHTFUL. IMPASSIONED.
This Place: Israel Through Photography’s Lens explores the complexity
of Israel and the West Bank, as place and metaphor, through the eyes of
twelve internationally acclaimed photographers who spent months creating
a portrait of a country so well known, yet so little understood. Their highly
individualized works combine to create not a single, monolithic vision, but
rather a diverse and fragmented portrait, alive to all the rifts and paradoxes of
this important and much contested space. Initiated by photographer, Frédéric
Brenner, This Place employs photography to ask essential questions about
culture, society, and the inner lives of individuals. The Norton Museum of
Art in W. Palm Beach is the first US venue to present this unique exhibition,
which opens October 15, 2015, and runs through January 17, 2016.
