Isa Ho’s solo exhibition Westbeth Project is a five-year photography project that began in 2013 while she was in New York on her ACC fellowship and portrays artists in their flats, thus blurring the line between artists and their home. Isa Ho, who studied painting, uses an editing technic which brings her photographs closer to portrait paintings, and sees her photographs as realistic. “For me, a photograph is a platform on which to create a scene, rather than capture a narrative”, says the artist. Her photographs offer a critical approach to art and growing old in a capitalistic society, alongside questions regarding memory and loneliness.
The exhibition follows the artist's winning the first prize of the prestigious Arte Lagunacompetition, last March. It is the result of the collaboration between Nira Itzhaki of Chelouche Gallery and the competition’s initiatives. Itzhaki served in the jury committee which awarded the first prize to the artist.
