Some artists, like Urs Fischer or Doug Aitken, make their mark on their galleries by excavating giant holes in cement floors. Tel Aviv-based Ilit Azoulay, on the other hand, has simply bifurcated the modest gallery with a temporary wall, on which she hangs her impeccably staged large-scale photographs. Like an archeologist, Azoulay collects materials from the sites of demolished buildings, photographing each individual item in her studio; these photos are then combined into meticulously laid-out tableaux of objects that “go” together but weren’t necessarily found side by side.
