Synopsis

Dror Daum presents two solo exhibitions at the Center for Contemporary Art, Scared to Die and Scared to Live. The latter addresses modern life’s fears, threats, and diseases, accidents, earthquakes, murders, etc. The former focuses on the equally threatening and complex issues of courting and loneliness, jealousy, and their cycles of frustration. In Daum’s own words, his works “deal with the existential anxiety present in Western culture, with contemporary memento mori, and with our culture’s inherent potential for danger and destruction.” Dror Daum’s education at Bezalel Academy’s Department of Photography funneled his creativity into the field of photography in terms of medium, format, printing, framing, and mounting. However, at best, his practice can be defined as “photography-informed.” Instead of adhering to photography’s traditional mode of going out to the world to hunt for images, Daum programmatically avoids conventional processes by seeing photography as an image in our retina, or alternatively as an object in the world, and changing the reciprocal relations between photography and space.
