Portrait of TLV is a portrait of the city created through the state of its space.
The work draws on an approach inspired by Luc Tuymans — a “portrait as a fixed state,” in which a place becomes a carrier of memory and cultural recognition.
A morning street turns into an image that exists between reality and recollection.
The rhythm of palm trees, the heat of the light, the elongated perspective, and the figure seen from behind form the cultural code of TLV — not a specific address, but a recognizable state of the city.
The work explores how urban gestures and visual structures become part of collective memory — the kind we recognize even before we manage to name it.
