One of Israel’s leading photographers, Adi Nes, exhibits his tenderly subversive images at Ballarat International Foto Biennale. ⁠ In a style that’s evocative of classical art and religious parable, Soldiers intimately captures the intervening moments within the rigidity of military life, and explores the relationship between masculinity and lost innocence. ⁠ Adi Nes’s Soldiers series is considered one of the most important works of contemporary Israeli photography, and was described by the New York Times as “shrewd sendups of the pervasive, macho military presence in Israeli life”. ⁠ See Soldiers at The Post Office Gallery from August 24th, supported by Debbie Daddon and the Embassy of Israel, Australia. ⁠ ⁠ [Image: Adi Nes, Untitled 1995, Courtesy Sommer Contemporary Art, Tel-Aviv]
