Florentine 45 Gallery, Tel Aviv

excerpt

Excerpt comprised of paintings, sculpture and video work that exposes fragments of interior and exterior, shot mainly from a window at sunrise in south Tel Aviv, documenting it's transparent zone of refugees, poor sanitation, neglected population, wondering street cats, violent politics and malignant forces.
This 'room with a view' outlines us as deprived and robbed of our selves.
The real is but a theatrical set, marked by a bird- cage constructor exposing his craft on the pavement in front of his workshop.
We wake up to a nightmare, manipulated by suggestive voices based on self-help recordings, promising in vein healing and solace.
One oscillates between the vast somewhere and the possible nowhere.
