Opening January, 2007 through June 2007. Five installations by multidisciplinary artist Hadas Ophrat combining sculptural elements with video and sound.
The works deal with cycles, contrasts and reconciliations between extremes, and processes of birth and death. All combine a component of absolute order with a powerful emotional and physical element.
The central images - gardens, seeds, spice-boxes, female portraits, orchids - are arrayed around the figure of the artist, who appears in the videos, but is also alluded to in the myrtle leaves (hadas in Hebrew) that decorate the garden and are carved in the spiceboxes. The myrtle leaves become the exhibition's "skin," as well as a metaphor for the artist's physical presence in the very spirit and soul of the artwork. -- www.imj.org.il
