Excerpts from conversation with Max Epstein: The nature of my activity is rather hard to determine, especially when one takes part in the space of Jerusalem for so long. Jerusalem cannot fully determine itself. Indeterminacy enables a certain freedom in the choice of medium and incompleteness.

For several years now, I do not leave the house without a camera, having said that, it so happens that for months on end it remains in my bag. For me, Photography is a function of fixating a state of mind- mental photography. Therefore, I photograph only when I feel an acute necessity to remember.

It also allows you to put aside the psychoanalysis of memory and to clear space for work.
