IDAN GOLKO

Idan Golko, Photographer & alternative artist from Israel. Engages with art as a tool for self inquiry & therapy. Autodidact. B. 1976... I take photographs of people, most are anonymous, in real, non staged moments. Whether it's in Israel or any other place in the world, I notice that in spite the will to belong, eventually, each person stands on his own... In my essence I am drawn to the margins, yet most of my photographs are day to day life, of people who are functioning in the world, on the way to work, on trains, on buses, on the streets. It seems these people do not rebel, do not kick the frame; they are functioning and allegedly belong. The choice to belong both fascinates and bothers me since it's not natural for me. This is the reason that in most of my photographs the people are alone, with their own identity and drama.
