With Jerusalem II, Serge Mendjisky continues his unique exploration of the city through the deconstruction and reconstruction of images. True to his Cubist-inspired vision, the artist transforms the urban landscape into a rhythmic visual construction, where lines, volumes, light, and colours interact in a new perception of space.

Through his photographic collage technique, Mendjisky does not merely seek to represent Jerusalem, but to reveal its depth, memory, and intensity. The recomposed fragments create a work that is both architectural and poetic, where the city seems to vibrate between reality, memory, and movement.

Driven by the idea that photography could extend the legacy of Cubism, Serge Mendjisky developed a profoundly original body of work, straddling the boundaries of photography, painting, and spatial construction. His urban compositions invite the viewer's gaze to wander, to recompose the image, and to rediscover the city from a new perspective.

Serge Mendjisky's works are held in numerous public and private collections, including the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow.

A rare and emblematic work, testifying to Mendjisky's mastery in the art of reinventing the urban landscape through photography.
