CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW
multidisciplinary approach is the only way to express and convey the ideas you explore.
I employ these media because of the way they influence one another. Right now, every work I create incorporates drawing, video and installation. On example of this is Forward, which is the central piece of my solo exhibition, which is on display at the Haifa Museum of Art until January 2017.
I use multiple media at once to give the viewer an experience that is inspired from my experience. The viewers, of course, can give the work their own interpretation, which may be different from my own. Some of the material I use is meditative and relates to where we think. What interests me is the place of thought. This is where we are free from everything that is outside of our mind, including the thought that we can create our own worlds in our minds. This can be the places that we want to run away to like in Could Be Me, a video I displayed at the Petach Tikvah Museum of Art that shows asylum seekers and foreigners in Israel learning to read. In my eyes, reading is also a way of creating a world of your own and to get to places that you want. You can run away to a place and from a place. So yes, drawing is no longer enough in my work. Now I am broadening my works to involve installation and film as well.
For this special edition of LandEscape we have selected Forward, an extremely interesting video that reflects the multifaceted nature of our relationship to nature and that our readers have already started to get to know
