我的作品執著於是傳統文件式的攝影，還有他們所試圖維護這種諾言的真相。
當然幾乎所有的作品有不同層次的創作方式和解讀:一些是用舞台戲劇的方式拍攝，有一些是用臨時演員，而其他則可能是用完全鋪陳架設好的方式拍攝，有另外一些是在偶遇的機緣下，也有半鋪陳架設好舞台性質的作品。有很多作品是利用電腦完成了一些在同一情況下所拍攝的極少量但不同的照片和畫面。
這些作品對於我來說，是視覺的努力和激盪，透過一些外在的，圍繞著生存於這個區塊內的生命經驗線條，試圖要去圍繞這區塊的「存在」經驗，描繪一張複雜的以色列的身分綜合面相。這些外在線條是涵括了社會學、地理誌學以及與政治學式的邊界。

Short Artist statement concerning all 3 works – Ohad Matalon
The commitment of my works is to traditional documentary photography, as well as the kind of promise for truth they try to maintain.
Of course most of the works were made with different levels of interference, some are using extras and are fully staged, others are spontaneous response to situations I run into, some are half staged. Many works were composed in the computer from few different frames I photographed of the same situation.
The works for me, are a visual effort to draw the complex face of the Israeli identity, through the external lines which surround the experience of "being" in this zone.
This external lines are the sociological, geographical & political borders\margins.
