Orit Ishay Explained
Orit Ishay (Hebrew: אורית ישי; born 1961) is an Israeli artist working in photography, video and installation. She is also a lecturer in photography.[1] Ishay's art examines the interrelation between man and place and possible systems of representation, while addressing questions pertaining to social and mental issues through temporal and spatial motifs. Her work is usually accompanied by theoretical research.
In 2012, she led a tour that was open to the general public in the "Haifa Walks #2" project, held in the framework of the show Haifa-Jerusalem-Tel Aviv at the Haifa Museum of Art.[2]
