Wonderful.

Wonderful.
This is quite literally sublime, but there's a note
of bathos too as the birds flock & squawk around - you
catch your breath -and if you don't catch your breath
please look hard into your soul - & then you have to
smile a little. Something of Shelley's Ozymandias too
in this: 'Look on my works ye mighty and despair!'
There's an interesting dichotomy in Doron's work
between the highly worked pieces - those with music &
actors, or the poetic documentaries - & these
apparently simple, found, works where he points the
camera at the right time, the at-the-right-time,
Cartier-Bresson like, being key..
(Indeed it seems to me there's somethig not dissimilar
to the influence of surrealism in C-B's work operating
in Doron's - it's as if the surreal/magical realist
element has been distilled, refined down so delicately
& completely that its presence is almost imperceptible
at first glance..it's only on further
investigation/contemplation/reflection that the
revelation, the unwrapping, of the profound
strangeness & singularity of the subject as a *central
theme & action* of the piece becomes clear)
I really recommend to people they spend some time
looking at Doron's recent work…in particular from
'broadway canal'
http://the9th.com/?p1
to this one.
It doesn't shout from any rooftops, it has no
gimmicks, no punch lines, in some ways it's quite
austere but it has a genuine depth & an unforced
complexity. Each movie is a mystery movie - one
returns many times & still finds something new..
It's an impressive & substantial - & I believe it
will be an enduring - body of work.
