Ilit Azoulay is an Israeli Artist (Born in 1972 in Israel). She is best known for panoramic photo montages, depicting arrangements of different objects and materials she has collected from demolished buildings around south districts of Tel Aviv. She visited the buildings before demolition, exploring their rooms and examining their walls. After the demolition, Azulay returned, searching through the remains and gathering pieces of them. In the studio, she sorted and cataloged the findings. Then photographs are made separately and used for collage preparation.
