About
Michael Banifatov, visual artist, photographer. Originally from Russia, born in St. Petersburg, based in Israel. Michael specializes in creating photographic projects that delve into places, objects and spaces within the context of history and sociocultural phenomena. His work is characterized by a personal approach that combines documentary and artistic practices.
Constructing a conceptual poetic narrative, Michael reveals the reality beyond visibility. He says that about it: "I think my items are quite surreal. It may not seem so at first glance, but I'm attracted to the very beginning of the process, when reality only begins to go out from itself. I want to capture this moment."
Michael occasionally presents very confined space where the entire world converges at one point, creating an endless process of exchange. He finds joy in this perpetual approaching and distancing, a continuous comparison of perspectives.
