In Orit Zuckerman collages, what seems at first to be a classic, superannuated aesthetic with proper composition, precise lighting and monochromatic colors that often hark back to the early part of the 20th century turns out to be a profound picture of a world that is out of balance and disturbing, and this undermines the work's aesthetic accessibility. Zuckerman uses various digital manipulation to create multilayer collages that link various kinds of content together, creating a familiar but misleading reality.

“Every work undergoes two processes," she explains. "The actual filming, where I freeze an existing, non-staged and unplanned reality based on a momentary urge from my gut, and the digital-processing stage, where everything in the photograph is examined, measured, planned and combined with meticulous precision that stems from judgment and thought.”
