"This Artist Book by Ori Gersht is conceived as a piece of work in its own right. Composed as three volumes, each takes a single film work by Gersht as its subject... These books, small and intimate in character, attempt to reflect on the creative thought process informing the making of each film. As a whole they create a seamless visual narrative and insight into the mind of the artist." -- Foreword to Gersht's ghosts.
