Gallery: Tzfat.

The “artist’s colony” at Tzfat was quite an experience. Art is on display everywhere, though most of the artists are hidden (locked in their basements painting, one imagines). You let yourself in to someone’s house/gallery, look around, and then move on. In some cases the whole house is taken up by art, so the living spaces are outisde—you see mattress, fridge, table out in the back yard. It’s all strikingly beautiful, but also kind of eerie and voyeuristic, which is what I tried to capture with my pictures.
