Hilla Spitzer began to record with her camera the life of the inhabitants of Beer Sheva's neighborhoods at their homes, workplaces, or pastime locations – pubs, coffee shops, K.K.L. pedestrian mall, etc. In her paintings created after photographic collages, she offers a panoramic, or 360-degree view. Most of the people depicted in them are her friends – artists and educational and cultural entrepreneurs, who lend a colorful, communal, dynamic and hedonistic air to the ancient city. The figures portrayed in the scenery create an impression of a rotating movement similar to that of a surveillance camera. Consequently, some of them appear either upside down or tilted.
Curator: Haim Maor, Library Aroma Café, until January 2018
