Eran Gilat is a neuroscientist and an avid Fine Art photographer. Eran’s research focus on the study of the mechanisms underlying epilepsy, and the development of innovative cure for this illness.
In recent years Eran found himself directing vast attention to still life photography in addition to conceptual portraiture, highly inspired by his long lasting confrontation with biological tissues and para-clinical constellations for the study of Neuroscience.
Eran deals with the aesthetics of the scene, improvising various contexts, the tools and paraphernalia shown are not just the typical ones used in the clinical operating place.
His Life Science project is forcing the biological tissue into a relatively pleasant, sometimes artificial scenarios contemplating disquieting issues of materialism and mortality. His extended Life Science series negotiates also the immoral reasoning for various toning of human violence, insecurity and exile.
Eran’s photography was introduced in solo at the New York Photography Festival (2011). It was invited to leading galleries in Israel, and numerous invitations followed including: FOTO8 London and Lensculture Paris, Lodz Fotofestival GradPrix, Cambridge University Gallery, NIKON story telling Award Tokyo Exhibition (2013), etc.
