Well Organized Mess
Tomer Applebaum
Award-winning Israeli photojournalist capturing major news events and cultural moments with compelling visual storytelling
There are images that affect me in a cinematic way.
I see them and feel the light touching faces and the breath of spirit,
and everything freezes in the scene. I remind myself of things I sometimes don’t remember.
What was the event and what was the sequence, the characters flow and blend in the daily script
written without a mountain, the characters in motion freeze within the frame of the city.
In a loop of infinity, history returns, falls, collapses, disintegrates and attaches with
threads of longing.
The timing is the leg, the movement matters, the pose is chaos, the foot
comes out in time, what matters is interesting!! Look there!! A sculpture!! A scream!! Hands
raised!! Is it dancing or theft? These are revelations from the “I” of the past, I organize them
in threes like in a “set”;
A haunted presence, a trembling guardian, a country in dates
blood, man, earth
child, youth, man
Arranged like a cross-section or in an oxidized bone,
opening the eyes into a sweet dream.”
