Biography

Daniel Tchetchik’s photography encompasses a robust artistic practice and extensive work as a photojournalist.

Through his practice, Tchetchik investigates his natural surroundings. His work is a search for visual descriptions and reflections of contemporary emotion in the landscape and people. There is an ongoing interplay between light and dark, destruction and rebirth, harsh and tender. The images themselves are immersive, engaging, and singularly powerful. From the breathtaking, somewhat mysterious landscapes to the sparkling light on the swirling clouds, an eerie scene of a fairground ride, or the magically glowing tree of light – all seeking a deeper understanding of the world, all somewhat removed from specific time or place, and all revealing a collective unconscious is the force that leads his vision.

His art has been exhibited in leading museums and galleries throughout Israel, New York City, San Francisco, Sweden, Berlin, Kassel, Hamburg, Bulgaria, and India. His works are part of the collections of the Tel Aviv Art Museum and The Museum and Central Institute for Sepulkralkultur, as well as numerous private collections.

Tchetchik divides his time between personal projects and documentary assignments. Editorial work has appeared on platforms of The Financial Times, The Süddeutsche Zeitung, The New Yorker, Frankfurter Allgemeine, Haaretz Newspaper, and more.

“In-between reality and a dream floats an open-ended trail to the truth.” – Daniel Tchetch
