Congratulations for Karen Robinovitz, the fashion maverick, for her cover in "Jewish Woman" magazine ! This was our second shoot. We met, first, on a shoot for a smaller publication. You never know...sometimes "small" shoots can take you far !:)

video grabs from the "Home-Land" show

A few grabs from videos I was taking at the show "Home-Land"that I participated in.

"Home-Land"_a group show of Middle Eastern artists_Sunday Nov. 14th.

"Home-Land" art show. Sunday Nov. 14th. 2010
I was very excited and honored to be a part of this show of 14 Middle-Eastern artists that was a part of the BETA arts project in Bushwick, Bklyn.
From what I heard, this was, by far, one of the most impressive shows of the whole art festival, and as I heard from a viewer "the most visceral."
After all, it's about the Middle East !:)
Between one artist' nude performance for the whole duration of the show; Joseph Shahadi's (Lebanon affiliation) lam hearts and testicles displayed on the table with needles stuck in some, Makram Hamdan's (Lebanon) live chicken installation with worms, and (..Hmmmm...xcuse me) my semi- nude photographs of Israeli female soldiers, plus the work of the many other talented artists...it was an intriguing (and familiar in a peculiar way) event.

WHAT THE FUCHS_The movie

A 10 minutes movie directed by Augustin Doublet about...Me :)
I met Augustin while working on the "Bushwick Year Book" last December, and he expressed his interest in getting to know my work and my motives better...and document it.
So, Voila ! After (quite) a few sessions, here's his short version.

The movie follows me in Bushwick, Brooklyn and Manhattan, and shows where I find some of my subjects as well as what goes behind the scenes.
