From the exhibition text by Varda Ginossar:
Tomorrow is Another Day
Nitzan Hamerman continues his artistic discourse on the subject of the transition between space and time. Here Hamerman continues to grasp at the ethereal, the transitional and the virtual, as he did in his Elevator and Greyhounds series. The works depict intimate situations using the anonymous and objective language of the documentary genre. The documentary nature of these paintings is created using images that have been captured over the Internet, where they are broadcast anonymously and active users (surfers) are transformed into audiences. In his works Hamerman transforms the act of exposing and negates the voyeuristic pleasure involved in the original. In these works the fragments of time and space on the canvas become something else, a new reality.
