Meet the Artist – Ofer Dabush

Magasin III Jaffa Books series of meetings with artists will host the artist Ofer Dabush to launch his new artist book Cars and his new Calendar.

The book includes works that were photographed during the year 2021. The car became the main location for photographs, after years of traveling from Metula to Eilat where Dabush engaged in body and nature photography. From the driver’s seat – the mirrors in the car and the windows became like a camera.

The Calendar is Dabush’s latest project, which was shot around Tel Aviv, and is a unique contrast to the old school shiny and polished calendars. The dominant element in the photographs is the direct gaze of the subjects, which conveys confidence and self-awareness, a gaze that does not try to please the viewer. In addition, the photographed people are not from celebrity or model magazines. Usually, these are ordinary people, some are friends and some came through casting on Instagram.
