Hayah Sheps –Avtalion investigates light, space and time via her process based photography. In her practice of direct photography of light installations in museums and galleries in Israel and worldwide, she uses light as a matter. Combined with long exposures and spontaneously choreographed body gestures of moving in space she shapes light and passing time into abstract compositions of drawings, spatial objects and space which are self-referential, pictures of the process of their own production. The nebulous abstract images no longer offer the comfort of automatic identification. The indeterminate nature of the images draws the viewer to linger, and imbue them with content from his inner world and imagination – a new link in the chain of creation, as a metaphor of the energy cycle in nature.
