one of Israel’s most prominent photographers. Since his graduation from the Bezalel
Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem (1992), his works have been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Israel and abroad. Nes’s body of work includes five main series to date: “Soldiers” (1994–2000),
“Boys” (2000), “Prisoners” (2003), “Biblical Stories” (2004–2007) and “The Village” (2007–2012). Nes’s large scale and multi-layered color photographs, executed with meticulous light and print qualities, draw inspiration from his personal biography, as well as from collective Israeli memory and universal art history. His works correspond with famous pieces from the art canon, as well as with contemporary photography, mythologies, film, media and journalism, fashion, and more. Nes diverts these borrowed images towards new contexts, thus creating a new and critical look at contemporary reality. Next to his creative work, Adi
Nes holds a teaching position at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem (since 2002), and gives courses and lectures in various art academies and universities world wide.
