Mis(s)placed

Belonging, memory, yearning, and home, the perception of space, its distortion, and the creation of “new” but obscure spaces and landscapes—all of these are an essential part of artist Noa Livnat Agmon’s photography and video project: Mis(s)placed. In recent years, Noa has been operating on the axis between London and Tel Aviv, flooded with feelings of alienation and non-belonging. This has given rise to a body of work that delves into spatial perception, modes of observation, memory, and belonging. The use of a stereoscopic analogue camera and black-and-white film highlights the delicate balance between aesthetics and content. Noa deconstructs and reconstructs the landscapes and memories, trying to free herself from the burden of memory’s hermetic quality; she re-maps the past, thereby attempting to map the present and the future. She seeks to create new mechanisms of control and order, new spaces of external observation and exploration of an inner essence, through which she hopes to reach the perfect, utopian place, where she will feel at home.
