Elad Lassry, who was born in 1977 in Tel Aviv and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, is known for his visually seductive yet detached, complex photographs and films that investigate the use of images in our visual culture, along with their inherent layers of histories and formalisms. By creating compositions and images that are simultaneously familiar and alien, both ever present and elusive, Lassry’s work explores current possibilities for the engagement with pictures and challenges the viewer with physical and perceptual paradoxes.
