"Mamash- Neighborhood safe space"
Installation and performance collaboration whit artist Dafma Talmon. “Menorat Layla” festival/exhibition, Neve Shaanan
Curators: Ravit Harari, Yasha Rozov, Irmi Baumgarten
The artists conceptualized a "Neighborhood Safe Space" by repurposing an authentic bell-shaped protective bunker, originally designed for defense against bomb and rocket attacks. This impactful installation was made possible through the generous contribution of Wolfman Industries to the project. The discourse revolves around extracting a utilitarian object from its functional context, relocating it within an urban environment, and integrating it into an artistic framework
Within this structure, the artists conducted interactive meditation workshops tailored for exhibition attendees. The aim was to redefine the parameters governing these associations and delineate novel boundaries within the intersection of functionality, urbanity, and artistic expression

"Letter to Tammy Getter"
Text and Sculpture. Givon Art Forum, Tel Aviv. Curator: Nicola Tertzi
In this piece, the artist fashioned a unique one-shekel coin with identical sides. Carefully sanding the faces of two coins and reducing each to half of its original thickness, he ingeniously fused them together. The resulting composite coin underwent expert recreation using silver at a foundry, transforming it into a remarkable work of art
This exceptional coin was accompanied by a letter addressed to the artist Tamar Getter. Within the letter, the artist extended an offer to exchange the specially crafted coin for one of Tamar Getter's drawings. This gesture not only showcased the artist's ingenuity in blending mediums but also demonstrated a thoughtful and collaborative engagement within the artistic community. The work establishes a correspondence reminiscent of a letter authored by Tamar Getter, addressed to Joseph Beuys during the 1970s

"Flex-Ex"
Video and Video Installation, Graduate show of the Post Graduate Program at Beit Berl College
The exhibition showcased two interconnected works. The first was a documentary video titled "The Messiah" (5:30), and the second was "The Happening," a short film (15:00), complemented by three installations inside and outside the gallery
A noteworthy element of the exhibition was the video installation titled "The Happening," featuring a 15-minute video filmed in the dry Ayalon River canal in Tel Aviv. This film draws inspiration from the narratives of Jesus and the Golem, delving into the connection between the natural and the artificial within the realm of artistic action. The installation also incorporated yellow jerrycans with tubes arranged against the video, adding a distinctive visual dimension to the overall presentation
The video documentation captures Arkadi, an individual self-proclaiming as the "Messiah," engaging in conversations with people at the market square in Tel Aviv. Lasting for 5:30 minutes, the video offers a distinctive perspective on this intriguing figure and his interactions with passersby

Within the confined space, they entered and staged a boxing match, embodying puppet-like boxers manipulated by the audience using small sticks connected to their hands. This performance offered a distinctive and interactive experience, deliberately blurring the boundaries between the audience and the performers, and delving into the nuanced dynamics of control

"Boydem work”
Installation and Sculpture. Meshuna Gallery, Tel Aviv
The exhibition featured several installations, including two wire drawings crafted from photographs capturing the countenances of my grandfathers. One, a poignant figure, met his fate in the crucible of the first Balkan War during the early 20th century, while the other served as a soldier in the Bulgarian army during the tumultuous period of the Second World War. The emotional resonance of presenting these two works carries profound significance within the context of an Israeli gallery in Tel Aviv. The geographical and cultural shift introduces a dynamic interplay between personal memory and collective experience. The emotional landscape embedded in the wire drawings undergoes a transformation, intertwining the intimate narratives of my grandfathers with the broader historical consciousness of the viewers

This artwork intended to explore themes of transformation, identity, and the intricate dynamics between individuals and military service, all within the distinctive context of the abandoned military facility
