"The last journey of a traveler: death Its goal: a renewal"
( Walter Benjamin )

The photographs were taken in Tel Aviv and suburbs every Saturday morning during eight months. a kind of wandering photography, just walking here and there.
On the "seventh day" in Israel there is an atmosphere of a frozen picture: no public transportation, very few shops are open. The city is silent; it is waiting for the end of the Sabbath. However, nothing in this series denotes a place, a date, a title. The feeling of an approaching end, of an "abandoned zone" is not associated with Tel Aviv as a city but rather with the outline of the place.
My city has no center, no heart, no identity, no noise, no rhythm. My city has no inhabitants.

"Wandering is a floating time, an in-between period." ( Laumonier )

I try to photograph instinctively, without rules, refusing to master the technique. I do not measure light. During the development of a film or the print of an image I do not measure time. The decision to take a photograph is my only control during and after the shooting.
The most important thing is the final photograph.
