Barak Zemer, born in 1979 in Jerusalem and now based in Los Angeles, turns his camera on the Surge Channel exhibit at the Long Beach Aquarium, a tank engineered to mimic the North Pacific's mechanically generated waves and stocked with rockfish from Alaska, surfperch from Siberia and kelp greenlings from Japan. Standing shoulder to shoulder with strangers at the glass, Zemer photographs both the manufactured ocean and the quiet, communal act of watching it.
