Through the look in the eyes of these strange men the viewer discovers his own strangeness and comes closer to his own longing to find himself.

Kobi Israel

Born in 1970 in a suburb of Tel-Aviv, Kobi Israel began his exploration of photography in 1994 when he was a flight attendant. His camera always with him, he immortalized his experiences around the world, as can be seen in his early works. In 1996, he studied cinematography at the New York Film Academy. He then returned to Tel-Aviv for a five-year program in Cinematography and Still Photography. In 2002 after a brief stint in Madrid, Kobi settled in London, where he started working on a series of photography and mixed-media bodies of work exploring the multiple layers of human identity and the quest for self-definition. Kobi's work has received worldwide critical acclaim and recognition from a number of prestigious publications and awards.
