Michel Ajerstejn

6 Apr-30 Apr 2016

Overview

Fiumano Projects is delighted to present URBAN PRETEXTS, Michel Ajerstejn’s second UK solo Exhibition. Pieces from two distinct bodies of work will here be brought together in a cohesive and sometimes challenging dialogue. In contrast to the tendency of most photographers who seek the extraordinary within the ordinary, Michel captures what many would ignore: the familiar within the everyday. Positioning himself somewhere between a voyeur and a marksman, the artist carefully chooses and observes his subjects through the viewfinder of his camera, patiently waiting for them to engage in beautifully ordinary actions: a girl lifting a lock of hair from her eyes, a boy smiling while talking into his mobile phone. http://www.fiumanoprojects.com
