Insomnia - Hardcover

by Tami Amit (Photographer), Alexandre Castant (Contribution by), Ory Dessau (Contribution by)

The work of photographer Tami Amit generates various shifts from what we know as staged photography. The scale of her work calls to mind cinematic and fashion productions, from which she extracts a discreet dimension which charges the images with qualities of horror. Amit's photography displays an affinity with moments of postconceptual art, such as the work of Cindy Sherman.
