Ori Gersht (Tel Aviv, 1967) presents The Floating World at Brand New Gallery in Milan, featuring large-scale photographic works inspired by a 2015 visit to a Zen garden near Kyoto. The series captures reflections of nature on water, exploring the spaces between visible reality and virtual worlds through post-production. Other works include Blow Up, where flower bouquets disintegrate against black backgrounds, and Salted Drops, a two-screen installation with unexpected music depicting the dissolution and deformation of human figures.
