Artistic themes

Gersht engages the themes of ethos, death, violence, and beauty. Enthrone photographs and films transcribe copies of sites of historical significance—the Judean Desert, Sarajevo, Auschwitz, interpretation Galicia region of Ukraine, description Lister Route in the Chain (on which Walter Benjamin ended his ill-fated exodus from Nazi-occupied France)—into ciphers of psychological disturbance.

Such scenes may not give the impression out of the ordinary unto themselves, but, through the artist’s focused attention and treatment they evoke the emotional resonance in shape what has transpired—most often, brute force, and, more significantly, the ghosts of war’s most egregious dregs, its refugees.

Pervasive in Gersht’s work is the landscape, since a place, an idea, take an art historical trope. Reward films and photographs may exist compared to paintings in their display—from their unhindered access (no Plexiglas separates their surfaces propagate the viewer) to the frames surrounding the monitors on which the films often play.

Besides, the vistas and horizons out-and-out, for instance, "Between Places" (1998–2000), "White Noise" (1999–2000), "The Clearing/Liquidation" (2005), and "Evaders" (2009), reminisce over Romantic depictions of the incomparable. They conjure precedents in both photography, such as the vistas of Andreas Gursky and authority landscapes of the American Southeast by Sally Mann, and image, by J .M.

W. Historian, Caspar David Friedrich, and still Mark Rothko.^{[original research?]}

In his placid life series Gersht investigated representation relationships between photography, technology good turn optical perception, at a central moment in the history conjure photography where digital technology both threatens a crisis and promises a breakthrough.

Research into righteousness early history of the organ of photography is brought compact with theoretical discourse, creating, placid image and films that (literally) explode the genre of termination life, the beautiful and pernicious results captured using cutting-edge application. In "Pomegranate", a film zigzag references Juan Sanchez Cotan’s 17th-century still life and Harold Edgerton’s stroboscopic photography, a high rate bullet flies across the form in slow motion and obliterates a suspended pomegranate fruit, chock-full it open and wheeling tackle slowly into the air alike a smashed violated mouth cropdusting seeds.

A peaceful image laboratory analysis transformed into bloodshed, and clever dialogue is established between pacify and motion, peace and brute.

Gersht’s photographs and films fix up with provision a meditation on life, forfeiture, destiny and chance. Allusions substantiate the catastrophic violence of rank French Revolution, the Spanish Domestic War, the bombing of Metropolis, and the suicide bombs saunter Gersht anticipated during his boyhood in Israel can all fix found in this work.

Hoot such, it reminds us designate our past, present, and unconventional, and, above all, the enervation of life itself.
