① Artwork:
Pea Soup 1
This roll-up blind is a digital photo print of a city view obscured by a filter of rain and condensation. Rendered somewhat indiscernible, this mediated view of the outside world simultaneously turns inward. Gili Tal’s work explores our understanding and experience of the urban environment by looking at how it is appropriated by lifestyle narratives so ubiquitous they become part of the visual fabric of daily life itself.
