Dialing Memory
This photographic work transforms a vintage public telephone into a striking study of design, texture, and nostalgia. Printed on aluminium, the image heightens the tactile surface of the metal casing and the glowing rotary dial, balancing documentary detail with a bold contemporary color treatment.
Tom Barnea
Tom Barnea (sometimes operating under the artistic handle MAYAMOTEK) is a contemporary digital artist specializing in vibrant, hypnotic photopaintings that translate a heightened personal perception of color and light. Bypassing traditional digital aesthetics, computers, and generative AI, Tom executes her entire creative process exclusively on a smartphone. She treats her photographs as physical and raw materials, layering and filtering them dozens of times to pull a hidden spectrum of luminous neon coloring. The resulting landscapes distort reality, manifesting how she uniquely encounters it.
