Naomi Leshem Dana, 2007 Chromogenic print 47.25 x 47.25 inches Edition of 5 Courtesy Andrea Meislin Gallery, New York Runways, shot at the height of the punishing desert sun, shows young girls just before beginning their mandatory conscription into the Israeli Army. They engage with the otherwise forbidding runways – frolicking, standing, staring. The series examines the consequences of circumstance, when fate can be decided with the same severity with which the scorched skid marks funnel viewers to an unseen, unknown horizon. I really liked this series . Love the sense of perspective creaed on the runway and almost looks like the subjects are about to take off and fly away. Great color pallettes, composition and integration with the landscape. Go and see it! There is also another series on display called the Sleepers . Sleepers captures adolescent boys and girls at their most vulnerable: asleep at night in their beds. Both series speak of a momentary limbo between zones, between consciousness and between the milestones of young life. Lovely and endearing portraits of youth while sleeping.
