Sunset, 2001, Oil on canvas
Linked Landscapes
Curator: Naor Daphna
28 Jul — 19 August, 2001
Imagine yourself travelling for several days on a train, watching the changing scenery through the window.
A random look outside causes different places at various times of the day to mix into a harmonious tapestry of small fragments of changing scenes. The voyager travels across expanses of landscapes of deserts, green fields, trees and flowers… until everything is blended in his mind and becomes one big picture. Now imagine that the traveler makes the same trip in the opposite direction. The order of the fragments of landscape changes and the whole picture is different. This is the feeling I would like to express in this exhibition.
The observer sees various size pictures scattered throughout the room. He stops in front of one of the two groups of paintings on either side of the room and realizes that the randomly formed groups of paintings create harmonies of their own.
At the end of the room there is a group of paintings intentionally hung together to create one harmonious tapestry. This harmonious tapestry can change dramatically when the order of the picture is changed. The observer is invited to rearrange the photos of the paintings which are on table.
