Rund 4000 Gebäude überwiegend im Bauhausstil formen die weltberühmte »weiße Stadt« Tel Aviv. Yigal Gawzes Fotografien zeigen die Spuren, welche die Begegnung des europäischen Bauhauses mit der Kultur des Mittelmeerraums hinterlassen hat. Sie sind eine Hommage an den Bauhaus-Geist, die Avantgarde-Fotografen der 1920er-Jahre und an die gegenwärtige Aktualität der architektonischen Moderne im Städtebau. Das faszinierende Porträt der leuchtenden Stadt offenbart mit überraschenden Detailaufnahmen auch im Fragment das poetische Wesen der Bauhaus-Architektur.
