Yair Oelbaum: Asleep in Dirt

Cast-off, found and constructed items await reanimation in Oelbaum's photographic series of abandoned objects

In his first photography publication, New York-based artist and social worker Yair Oelbaum (born 1988) collects his images of found or discarded items taken with Polaroid cameras. The title Asleep in Dirt derives from the Messianic Jewish conception of the resurrection of the dead.
