Passport (2016)

from the group exhibition (Dis)place at Ashdod Museum of Art
Curators: Roni Cohen-Binyamini and Yuval Biton

Initially exhibited at the Ashdod Museum in the exhibition (Dis)place, Passport deals with the familiar act of framing - Passe-partout, and refers to border and identity. It is constructed of eight different images/ seven of which – the familiar continents from map books and another image taken form the silhouette of the. artist's body. A color is printed inside the silhouettes, identical to that of the pass-partout cardboard, a few millimeters shifted from the original borders of the shape – as if it has fallen from the original laws of framing, or went wrong over the years. This series deals with geographic borders and the dynamics of cultural borders, which are affected and in fact designed by the changes occurring in perception of the body .
