Pesi Girsch (1954) is a German-born Israeli photographer. [1]
Pesi Girsch was born in Munich, Germany to Holocaust survivors. In 1968, she immigrated to Israel with her mother and four siblings. She studied sculpture with Rudi Lehmann. After serving in the army, she studied drawing with Yosef Schwartzman and traveled to Germany to continue her studies. In 1977, she moved to Zaire, Africa with her husband. Two years later, she resettled in Tel Aviv-Yafo.
In the 1980s, she abandoned sculpture, studying photography and education at the Midrasha Le'Omanut. Among her best-known work is the photography series "Glory to the Photographer's Model" (1991) in which she shows staged portraits of figures in the water with ritualistic overtones. In Natures Mortes from the early 2000s, Girsch shows still life using the corpses of dead animals. Stark, symmetrical compositions and lyrical lighting invest the photographs with symbolic meaning.
