Respiri: SALA DELLE GRASCE, PIETRASANTA

Yinon Gal-On, a young Israeli artist-photographer, strives to capture with his camera the deep thoughts, memories, pain and pleasure that exist beyond the visual or the tangible. Gal-On's work lies in his search for self-discovery that began as early as age seven with his first underwater photographs that developed as part of his growth and being.

At a time when we are often exposed to the private lives of others on a daily basis, on social media and in various media, when there seems to be no limit to physical and emotional exposure, Yinon believes in the importance of cultivating relationships with ourselves and values true human connection. His photographs are an invitation to silence, to pause for a moment, to breathe and to overflow with happiness. Inner happiness and visual happiness.

For this exhibition, Yinon invited for a personal set models and actresses who are engaged in the field of professional appearance on a daily basis. His underwater photography process emphasizes the exposed emotional aspects of those being photographed and disconnects them from the need to present their external selves. In his photographs, Yinon Gal-On gives an escape from what is "noise" in creating a meticulous external image and contributes to the emotional openness that passes through his photographs.
