Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The image depicts a striking black and white photograph capturing a wedding procession in what appears to be a Middle Eastern or North African setting. The prominent features are the prominent facial expressions and body language of the people in the crowd, conveying a sense of celebration and community. The composition is centered around the bride, whose face is partially obscured by a veil, creating a sense of mystery and anticipation. The overall technique suggests a documentary style, capturing a fleeting moment of cultural tradition. The historical context suggests this image may have been taken in the mid-20th century, providing a glimpse into the rituals and social dynamics of a specific time and place. ...

Dor Guez

, Israeli

Dor Guez is an artist and scholar who was born to a famliy mixed of Palestinian and Jewish immigrants from North Africa. He uses photography and video to examine his complex heritage as a descendant of both Arab Christians and Jewish Holocaust survivors, and examines questions of identity in relation to the formation of modern Israel. Examples of this in his practice include a set of films featuring his Christian Arab family members discussing their place in Israeli society and a series of photographs of the town of Lod, which was historically a Christian-Arab village before it was taken over by Israel. For the past two decades, his research and art have centered around archival materials and photographs from the Middle East and North Africa, as well as examining the impact of violence on the landscape. Guez is interested in interrogating personal experiences and official accounts of the past and aims to complicate the dominant narrative of official history by sharing the perspectives of marginalized communities, attempting to re-contextualize visual and written documents in order to uncover hidden histories. ...
