Catalogue Note

Mordechai Omer discusses Ozeri's dresses and notes: "Ozeri is primarily fascinated by what he terms "the broken space" created between the garment and the body that housed it. His faceless figures acquire new vitality precisely due to their absent presence, marked for the viewer by the receptacle that had contained them and now emerges as an echo and evidence of what had been and will never return." (Mordechai Omer, Yigal Ozeri Four Seasons  (exhibition catalogue), Tel Aviv Museum of Art, 2005, page 116.)
