- Abstract
- 24th August-20th October 2019. In partnership with the Ballarat International FOTO Biennale (BIFB'19), the School of Arts Post Office Gallery presents 'Soldiers’, a selection of works from the compelling series created by Adi Nes, one of Israel’s leading contemporary photographers. Captured between 1994 and 2000, Nes’s series focuses on both the intermediary moments between privacy and intimacy within the rigid framework of military life, and the loss of innocence within this highly masculine world. Considered one of the most important series of works in contemporary Israeli photography, Nes's work has been collected by prestigious museums and private collectors worldwide. Achieving awards including the 1999 Minister of Education, Culture and Sport Prize, Nes’s work was described by the New York Times as “shrewd send ups of the pervasive, macho military presence in Israeli life”.
