SOS – Chapter 1 – The Dead Sea and the Red Brigade.
The Dead Sea is Earth’s lowest elevation on land
out. While water level consistently decreasing , a huge sinkholes appears all around it and earth collapsed into itself.
, and the sea is drying
The Red Rebel Brigade are
an international performance activist group
dedicated to illuminating the global environmental crisis. They are
dressed red portraying ‘living statues’ during Extinction Rebellion demonstrations.
Their manifest stated:
“The red rebel brigade symbolizes the common blood we share with all species, that unifies us and makes us one.
As such we move as one, act as one and more importantly feel as one.
We are unity and we empathize with our surroundings, we are forgiving We are sympathetic and humble, compassionate and understanding, We divert, distract, delight and inspire the people who watch us.”
India Through the, Inspired by Landau -Looking Through the window while crossing the Himalayas, A wake in a dream, where i am sailing a Submarine. Deep dive in the ocean, no pressure on mind,
Only the sound the Beatles: “So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we all lived beneath the wave
in our yellow submarine.“
Ours was red. but i think that it is all the same.

No Masks – D”r Fisher i choose to interpret makeup as a mask to put on or a shilled to hide behind.in this projects that was commissioned by D”r Fischer Pharmaceuticals company i wanted to embrace my “Models” natural beauty, not a simple task as none of them ever stud in front of a camera in a studio the sad clown or the Japanese geisha come to mind when you look at the portraits with the white mask, same makeup to all to imply of the mass production and the lack of individualism as opposed to the natural photo that enhance my models inner beauty.https://vitkoneitan.com/gallery/no-masks

Peeling: from the middle of 2011 I got into a unique experience that became part of my life from then on.I met an artist totally committed to shed his own skin (metaphorically) .His father, a survivor of the Riga ghetto in Latvia in the second world war, vowed to write a book if he will make it alive, And so he did.Now his son peels off layer after layer looking to find himself and what is real and what is the truth.He sweeps the dust of his memories and stories trying to see an image while I‚ am trying to capture the dust in the air to perpetuate this rare moment.https://vitkoneitan.com/gallery/peeling
Benches: 98 benches on Rothschild Boulevard: Tel Aviv‚main vain. For two years I was there collecting fragments that later I will use as pixels to built my work. There is a moment as you sit down especially if it is empty that it becomes your own place a privet space in a public place and you are free to use it as you like. One will eat, drink, read, talk, fight, laugh, sing , make love, sleep or will have it as home for a little while. I used it to built my own vision of the local equalizer, thousands of pixels to represent the dynamic and variety moods of my city.https://vitkoneitan.com/gallery/bunches-of-benches
Ruty: I met Ruty on Rothchild Boulevard while shooting my Bench series. She was 65 at this time with a spirit of a 30. Ruty in her earlier days was one of the israeli fashion industry top promoter with great passion to any Avant-garde article of clothing. Today she weights 40kg, she wears Yves Saint Laurent and she still drinks her tea every day at the Boulevard. https://vitkoneitan.com/gallery/ruty/
Fashion Art Fashion: fashion and art are related one to the other in many ways. even though i was looking to take this relationship a bit farther and detach this series of fashion photography from its common commercial use and rather present the spirit of the trademark as young and active that looking for freedom.https://vitkoneitan.com/gallery/fashion-art-fashion
Sugat: Sugat LTD is the Israeli biggest company for Sugar and legume packaging. In 2009 Sugat built the first sugar refinery in Israel and invited me to give an artistic documentation of the process of the construction and the sugar making. So I traveled to the sugarcane fields in Brazil spent a few days with the workers that hand cut the canes (ince June 2012 this was stopped by amnesty) and followed the sugar from the north field through local refineries, by trains to the local seaport all the way into the Israeli seaport and to Sugat sugar refinery. . https://vitkoneitan.com/gallery/Sugat/
