Ilit Azoulay

Ilit Azoulay (born 1972) is an Israeli artist. She is best known for panoramic photo montages, depicting arrangements of different objects and materials she has collected from demolished buildings around the southern districts of Tel Aviv. She visited the buildings before demolition, exploring their rooms and examining their walls. After the demolition, Azoulay returned, searching through the remains and gathering pieces of them. In the studio, she sorted and cataloged the findings. Then photographs are made separately and used for collage preparation.
