Curator visit in the exhibition Negative and Narrative: The Photographic Story of the White City

The exhibition highlights the evolution of Tel Aviv-Yafo's White City through photography, which has been essential in preserving the International Style of architecture. This preservation ultimately contributed to the recognition of these areas as a World Heritage site.

Visitors can explore original works by iconic photographers such as Yitzhak Kalter, Judith Turner, Irmel Kamp, Yigal Gawze, and Günther Förg, highlighting the transformation of architectural perspectives in the city from the 1930s to the present.

During the curatorial process and in a retrospective look, it became apparent that some photographers took a more documentary and often critical approach. In contrast, others adopted a more artistic approach, focusing on the interior and exterior details of the buildings.
The exhibition titled Negative and Narrative: The Photographic Story of the White City arrives forty years after the first exhibition on the city's modern architecture at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, curated by Micha Levin. This event also coincides with the 20th anniversary of UNESCO's declaration of Tel Aviv's White City as a World Heritage Site.
