The Honickman Foundation supported the Gershman Y's exhibit of
Celestial Nights: Visions
of an Ancient Land on view from February 12 through April 9, 2006. These stunning images
of the deserts of Israel and the Sinai at night are by American-Israeli photographer Neil Folberg.
The world depicted in Celestial Nights is composed of a delicately constructed order where earthy
elements and the heavens mirror each other. In this series of compelling night images, the land
and skies of Israel and the Sinai are offered to the viewer as mystical points of entry and departure.
Folberg sets an ancient land against the awesome and eternal spectacle of the night sky.
