Ziv's photographs are intertwined with a quest for experience and to be close to the knife edge where cause and effect meet, and so he manages to get his camera in the right place at the right time. And he notices the rare moments where life seems to mimicking itself, often subtle moments which defy the ordinary run of daily life. His pictures speak with an endearing, quiet irony, and great technical proficiency.
