Assaf Shaham (b. 1983, Jerusalem) deals with
photography and its mechanisms; he examines
the way photography is perceived, subverts the
prevalent view centering on the photographed
object, and brings to the front the taken-for-granted
act of photography. Shaham deconstructs and
foils basic and sophisticated tools for creating
and processing images, and juxtaposes concepts
of early photography with digital manipulations,
exposing their clumsiness.
