Dolev Elron, Grand Prix du Jury Premiere Vision

Entanglements is a collection of portraits of men I have met, desired or imagined. It was inspired by friends, lovers, strangers, icons and clichés.
Memories and moments translated into movements. A physical gesture lies at the core of each garment, exploring the complex and sometimes confusing relationships we hold with each other and with our clothes.
Jeans warped around the waist. A belt tangled around itself. A trench coat leaning off balance. Trousers bending in an endless loop. A baseball cap, usually worn to shield and conceal, is curved upwards. Boxer briefs, an iconic piece of merchandise and the ultimate thirst trap, altered in perspective.
Each gesture is an intentional disruption of function, revealing or morphing parts of the male body. It mimics a digital distortion that, by now is strangely analog.
