Zev Jonas "The Condition Works"
NY Studio Gallery
This event has ended.
Jonas' compositions explore a quiet sense of solitude, often layered with impressions of meditative observance and loneliness. His work seeks out the tension between isolation and connection by contemplating the relationship humans have with our surroundings, how we view and interact with other animals and our environment. While training his lens on a wide range of natural and synthetic environments, Jonas finds beauty in the unexpected.
"The Condition" investigates both the sensuality and sadness of seclusion while searching for a sense of purpose and place that can be either disturbing and antagonistic, or peaceful and intimate, and at times both. Jonas presents the tranquility in separation and detachment, as well as the inherent sense of displacement, depression and isolation found in artificial environments. Jonas writes, "My photographs illuminate common yet alien settings as lonely, contemplative environments that are enclosed, melancholy, at times tender and often unsettling."
