This afternoon passed by the Portuguese Bookstore, and was attracted by this exhibition.
"This exhibition showcases the photographer’s works in diptych from her
"This exhibition showcases the photographer’s works in diptych from her
two series of works created in Israel and Macau between 2007 and 2012.
In each pair of photographs, visual similarities and differences are derived
and drawn, mirroring the existence and cultural identity in different environmental
and cultural context.
The idea is not to draw direct comparisons between the two cultures, but rather
to pique the viewers’ curiosity and initiate dialogue between the two cultures."
"The title of this exhibition is “Here or There” (這裡、那裡 / פה או שם). The exhibition consists of two series of photographs, one is of street scenes in Israel, another of street scenes in Macau. The two series of images are showcased alongside one another in pairs: one photo taken in Israel is juxtaposed by a similar photo taken in Macau. The photographs create a visual diary of daily scenes that I encountered on the streets of Israel and Macau. In each pair of photographs, visual similarities and differences are identified and drawn, mirroring the environmental surroundings and the way of life that hold up to their existence and cultural identity. The idea is not to draw direct comparisons between the two cultures, as such superficial comparison could not unfold the richness of these two cultures. Instead, I hope these photographs will pique the viewers’ curiosity and initiate dialogues between the two cultures."

Excellent work! Good identification and observation of different cultures, simply daily life scenses of two different countries.
