20 color photographs that are the product of the artist’s focus on The Hospital for Hansen Disease in Jerusalem, an almost vacant leprosy hospital and the remnants of the lives that once inhabited it.

S.Y. Agnon, the Israeli novelist and Nobel laureate, used this leprosy hospital as the backdrop for his novel “Shira” and in his short story “Forevermore” – hence the title of this exhibition.

Yuval Yairi was born in 1961 in Tel Aviv. He lives and works in Jerusalem.
