Ilit Azoulay, born in Jaffa in 1972 and based in Berlin, holds a BFA (1998) and MFA (2010) from Bezalel Academy. Initially trained in classical photography, her work evolved post-MFA to challenge traditional norms, particularly the male-dominated focus on capturing decisive moments. Azoulay’s art extends the photographic process, using research-driven reimagination and compositional grids that question the photographer’s role. Her work critiques the Darwinian concept of progress in photography, referencing early daguerreotypes and their unwitting subjects. By collaborating with researchers, she integrates textual data, blending artistic and factual elements to reveal the origins of objects. Through composite, multilayered images, Azoulay invites viewers to explore time and space from a parallax perspective, recontextualizing traditional photography and leaving a lasting impact.
