About the Item
Shai Kremer lives and works in New York. He completed his MFA studies at the School of Visual Arts (S.V.A) in Manhattan.
For many years, Kremer's eye has been drawn to themes of urban destruction and reconstruction and to landscapes evidencing trauma. These concerns merged in his ambitious series W.T.C: Concrete Abstract, which explores the impact of the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. For more than a decade, Kremer made periodic visits to Ground Zero, focusing his camera on the efforts towards recovery, repair, and renewal. As a collection, Concrete Abstract conveys the gradual progression from tragedy towards healing.
Each large-scale archival pigment print in the series is composed from as many as sixty to 100 overlapping images, resulting in a subtle collage that invites closer inspection while also reading as a unified whole.

Shai Kremer
Shai Kremer is an Israeli conceptual photographer whose work has generated worldwide critical acclaim. Earlier projects include his multi-year series of large scale works, Concrete Abstract, that offer a look at the reconstruction effort at the site of the World Trade Center through the use of multiple image overlays that span the construction from 2011 to 2013. Kremer’s 2010 series, Notes From the Edges, concentrates on views of New York from its perimeter, emphasizing the dichotomy of destruction and reconstruction. Kremer focused his lens on the lesser-known landscapes that exist in the periphery, where the urban structure begins to decay and rejoin with nature. His early series, Infected Landscape and Fallen Empires, examined contested territories throughout Israel where the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has left an indelible imprint on both the land and the psyche of its inhabitants.
In his austerely beautiful, medium- to large-format color photographs, Shai Kremer captures the marks of conflict and history on the fraught and mutable landscapes of Israel and New York City. He sees these landscapes as palimpsests on which can be read the rise and fall of empires, continuing power struggles, and changing socio-economic conditions that allow certain structures to rise and others to disappear. Working in series, he positions himself at the margins—the Israeli desert, the edges of New York—to broaden his perspective, intellectually and visually. Kremer has photographed military training grounds in the Negev desert, archaeological ruins, and the various borders dividing the Israelis from the Palestinians—sites so subtle they appear mundane. In New York, he has been focusing on the changing World Trade Center site and on humble and crumbling interstitial structures. Kremer’s artworks can be found at the following museum collections:
