Hide and Seek
[2009]
This body of work depicts hidden swamps and marshes located
in the remnants in Poland of the vast primeval forests that
once covered most of Europe. Gersht was seeking locations that,
at times of political conflict, had become places of refuge.
“Hide and Seek” attempts to explore the dialectic
between metaphysical and real places. Photography can only depict
the reality that is physically present in front of the lens
and Gersht was interested in finding places to photograph that
do not, or did not, exist on the map and that, therefore, may
be referred to as “no-places” or voids.
