Inbal Abergil seeks to examine both aesthetic and societal norms held by Israeli communities and the world at large. Her work grapples with notions of time and memory, adeptly traversing the limits of photography. Abergil breathes new life into this established medium, imbuing her viewer with a fresh conceptual framework. 24 Frames Per Second (2008) is a photo series taken from the audience-perspective of films shown in theaters across Israel. Abergil sat among moviegoers while photographing the screen, and risked evading Israeli security by bringing her camera into the theater. New to the U.S., the series comprises 11 photographs, each measuring 33 square inches.
