“Images where different points of view gather and amalgamate, where time folds in layers, where memories and repetitions of past and future intertwine. Imbued with time and memories, the works of the series Concrete Abstract, by the Israeli artist Kremer, are the result of a long process of work, born with the documentation of the reconstruction of the World Trade Center‘s site, where the Twin Towers collapsed tragically in September 2001. Each image, in fact, contains over 60 overlapped photos, which were taken by the author over time and combined, day after day, preserving the overall power of details.”
~ Curator Gigliola Foschi.
“In 2011, Kremer was granted access to the construction site of One World Trade Center, which he photographed for two years. The artist combines these copious images to illustrate the site’s former self as well as its years of reconstruction, using a process that links accumulation, destruction, and reconstruction, and forming images that are formally and psychologically complex. As the series progresses, we can see the building itself taking shape. Whereas in past work he expressed his vision through individual images, in this series he layers images within one frame, building evocative abstract compositions.”
