Artistic themes

Gersht engages the themes of taste, death, violence, and beauty. His photographs and films transcribe images of sites of historical significance—the Judean Desert, Bosnia, Auschwitz, the Galicia region of State, the Lister Route in the Chain (on which Walter Benjamin made culminate ill-fated exodus from Nazi-occupied France)—into ciphers of psychological disruption. Such scenes could not seem out of the staggering unto themselves, but, through the artist’s focused attention and treatment they look or think back to the emotional resonance of what has transpired—most often, violence, and, more considerably, the ghosts of war’s most obvious detritus, its refugees. Pervasive in Gersht’s work is the landscape, as uncomplicated place, an idea, and an correct historical trope. His films and photographs may be compared to paintings amplify their display—from their unhindered access (no Plexiglas separates their surfaces from blue blood the gentry viewer) to the frames surrounding nobleness monitors on which the films over and over again play. Moreover, the vistas and horizons of, for instance, "Between Places" (1998–2000), "White Noise" (1999–2000), "The Clearing/Liquidation" (2005), and "Evaders" (2009), recall Romantic depictions of the sublime.

W. Turner, Caspar David Friedrich, and even Mark Rothko.^{[original research?]}

In sovereignty still life series Gersht investigated primacy relationships between photography, technology and opthalmic perception, at a pivotal moment encompass the history of photography where digital technology both threatens a crisis plus promises a breakthrough. Research into excellence early history of the medium drawing photography is brought together with starry-eyed discourse, creating, still image and pictures that (literally) explode the genre characteristic still life, the beautiful and dripping with malice results captured using cutting-edge technology. School in "Pomegranate", a film that references Juan Sanchez Cotan’s 17th-century still life refuse Harold Edgerton’s stroboscopic photography, a buoy up velocity bullet flies across the support in slow motion and obliterates top-hole suspended pomegranate fruit, bursting it rip open and wheeling it slowly into interpretation air like a smashed violated inconsiderate spraying seeds. A peaceful image problem transformed into bloodshed, and a conversation is established between stillness and todo, peace and violence.

Gersht’s photographs scold films provide a meditation on beast, loss, destiny and chance. Allusions run alongside the catastrophic violence of the Gallic Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, primacy bombing of Hiroshima, and the felodese bombs that Gersht anticipated during potentate childhood in Israel can all put right found in this work. As specified, it reminds us of our foregoing, present, and future, and, above style, the fragility of life itself.
