A Momentary Lapse Of Reason/Upcoming Photography Exhibition :

November 13th – December 13t, 2011
Following great success showcasing this exhibit at The Hava Rosenberg Gallery Maya Hed will present her project at The Israeli Opera in Tel Aviv where most of the photographs were taken.
This series captures exclusive pictures of extraordinary jazz artists from all over the world, during the sound check where the artists experience very intimate, secluded and unique moments
The viewer can experience through the photographic medium, the vivid expressive force of jazz music, echoed by the photographs that enable us to “listen” with our eyes
Further, after enduring the black and white photography documentation of jazz music over the past years, Maya’s fresh approach presents a large amount of photographs in color in the belief that emotions and stage life , come to light better in her colorful menagerie outlook.
The camera leads us behind the scenes with such luminaries as Stefano Bollani who overwhelmed Italian jazz culture, Tony Pancella who is a very important figure in Italian Jazz, and Nicola Stilo who played with one of jazz’s greatest artists, the notorious Chet Baker and many more.
