Watching and accepting responsibility

An award-winning, captivating and exciting animated film

Nothing Happens

Michal and Uri Kranot

Animation is conquering our cultural space, and not by chance. Visuals are instantly captivating because they require less time than linear reading. The power of an image is that it can simultaneously present a subject, interpret it and sometimes even pass judgment. This advantage is understandable, especially, in an age when the pace of life [...]

Video Game – Shepherd

If you will – the Shepherd & the Herd

We tend to think about video games as a form of entertainment, but over the last couple of decades there has been a growing movement that considers games to be a fully-fledged artistic and narrative medium. This relatively new medium enables us to explore topics and questions in ways that traditional media can’t accommodate. In [...]

Embroidering Reality as a Therapeutic Act

Joana Choumali

On March 13, 2016, a brutal terrorist attack struck Grand-Bassam, a coastal town in the Ivory Coast, near the home of artist Joana Choumali. Three weeks after the attack, Joana photographed the location and its people on her cell phone, as if she needed to bring the reality to life. The idea of embroidering the [...]

Every Day has the Potential to Surprise

The impressive female images of Moufouli Bello, the expression of their inner presence, create a mesmerizing dialogue.

And the colors? Striking!

Sometimes we are captivated. That is what happened to me when I first saw paintings by Moufouli Bello, an artist from Cotonou, Benin, a small country in west Africa. After studying law, out of commitment to the social rights of the local population, she decided to dedicate herself to her great passion, painting. To painting, she has added other [...]

Japandi

“…The furniture is “soft” while maintaining the elegance of Japanese design. Despite the integration of both Norse and Japanese cultures, it maintains meticulous functionality and efficiency. But! It was important to maintain a Zen sense of quiet while life is lived at home and enveloped by nature.”

Influenced by the Nordic design tradition combined with a Japanese sensitivity to aesthetics and handmade elements, we would like to introduce you, our readers, to a project that caught our attention: a vacation home on one of Sweden's beaches, in a rocky archipelago. The architectural firm Norm Architects from Copenhagen was responsible for both the [...]

ART BIOTOP WATER GARDEN
How to stretch the boundaries of architecture to touch both art and tourism, inspire bi-directional dialogue between humanity and nature, and evoke exhilarating, aesthetic emotions.

The work before you will surely surprise you, too. Its creator is Junya Ishigami, a Japanese architect, who received the 2019 Obel Award for this work. The representative of the Danish Foundation that awards the prize, Martha Schwartz, described the work as “architecture of space, not of an object, functioning in accordance with architectural conventions.

To Feel

Strong visuals have a power of their own. Especially when the creators have a divinely bestowed talent to evoke emotion. Inbal Pinto and Etgar Keret have joined forces for the first time and created a work that does not fit established categories –  film-story-illustrations-movement-game-music and above all – an exciting aesthetic.

Enter the film, and we have no doubt that by its end you will agree with us – Using words... can only do harm. Why? Because it is more important to feel than to echo words; words can also be misleading. Everyone’s emotions are different and unique. Especially when responding to the same basic experience [...]

Saudi Arabia – The Biennale in the Oasis
Surprising the Eye and Fascinating the Mind

In 2017, the DESERT X Biennale was first established in the Coachella Valley, in California’s Colorado desert, with Neville Wakefield as the Biennale’s artistic director. But the surprise came this year, when the Biennale was held in Saudi Arabia’s Alula Oasis, Al-Ala, in collaboration with the Royal Commission of Alula (RCU).  Joining the artistic director [...]
