Ori

Ori Gersht was born in Israel, but has lived in London for over 30 years. Throughout his career his work has been concerned with the relationships between history, memory and landscape. He often adopts a poetic, metaphorical approach to explore the difficulties of visually representing conflict and violent events or histories.

Gersht studied photography, film and video at the University of Westminster before graduating with an MA in photography from the Royal College of Art in London in 1995.

He has participated in numerous exhibitions globally, including in New York, London, Paris, Edinburgh, Tel Aviv, San Francisco and Madrid. He is represented by Yancey Richardson Gallery, New York, Talley Dunn Gallery, Dallas, Kohn Gallery, Los Angeles, Noga Gallery of Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv and Brand New Gallery, Milan. He is also a professor of photography at the University for the Creative Arts, Rochester, England.
