Grossman photographs additions to construction in the neighborhood of Kiryat Shalom in Tel Aviv. The theme is additional constructions that were added to buildings, and the way they affect the urban Israeli landscape. The photographer perceives this theme from its emotional as well as social angle. Grossman, whose extensive work is usually made out of meticulously contrived portraits, is now dealing with ‘monsters’ - urban mutations that were created to meet needs and but not please the eye. Using technical manipulations, Grossman emphasizes the disproportional deformation she saw in the constructions, and thus becomes closer, as an observer, photographer and documentarist, to these mutations, finding a justification for their existence.
