Jean Douchet gave the closest definition: suspense is "the dilatation of a present caught between two conflicting possibilities of an imminent future". The artist has developed a conceptual approach out of his travels, capturing the world with an uneasy and curious eye, rendering it hyper-real and yet pictorial. His world, which is also ours, is banal and dramatic, familiar and strange; his framing is savvy and quirky. He sees the world in slices and episodes, and his colour tonalities light up the everyday, showing the world as we suspect it is, its strangeness and its often overlooked beauty. Many of the images are taken at night, mysterious and intense: dark corners, and the light of streetlamps sharpening objects and throwing their menacing, dazed, sombre look into relief, a contrasting colour temperature that makes views seductive and harrowing at once. There is a lingering on the image and the question of its apparent immobility: a confluence of calm, mystery and tension, with pictorial and atmospheric qualities (from the introduction by Ami Barak).
