Ori Gersht at CRG Gallery

A landscape is never just a beautiful view in Ori Gersht’s photographs. A past series pictured tranquil scenes not far from a former concentration camp; the more recent ‘Floating World’ images – shot in Kyoto’s formal gardens – play up the multi-layered meanings of meticulously planned spaces like this one by combining reflected and inverted images. (At CRG Gallery on the Lower East Side through May 21st).

Ori Gersht at CRG Gallery

Inspired by Jan Brueghal the Elder’s flower genre paintings, London-based photographer Ori Gersht photographed versions of Breueghal’s arrangements, seen in a mirror as it’s being shattered. Gorgeous and violent at the same time, the photos are a disturbing reminder that nothing lasts forever. (At Chelsea’s CRG Gallery through March 14th).
