Moshe Ninio Examines Perception Through Antenna Tower Photos
Moshe Ninio, a key figure in the Israeli art scene, persistently explores the definition of the art object and the viewer's position. His work investigates the visibility of things, their imprint, persistence, and memory. This inquiry goes beyond merely inviting the spectator to question their own stance. Ninio photographs the same subject—an antenna tower in Givatayim—at different times of day, revealing the multiplicity of perceptions during both creation and reception.
