Between Private Space and Public Realm
2005
First Prize, awarded by the Tel Aviv Port Authority and ZeZeZe Gallery.

Our relationship to the world is defined when two identities meet: the personal identity and the collective identity. In today's society those identities sometimes appear to exist on separate parallel lines. Every once in a while external forces intervene, causing one of these identity lines to change direction. This encounter causes a collision, resulting in anger and violence, but often also reveals a moment of tenderness and care, which gives us insight regarding the fragility of our world and recognition that environmental alienation, disregard for each other and our ignorance of tomorrow stand on our doorstep, piling up and possibly destroying the structure we established which stands in such a delicate balance.


The display expresses the delicate stitching connecting the private and the public by presenting the polarization between the energy we invest in shaping and nurturing the private space, and our relationship to the public sphere, which ranges from simple lack of care to a pattern of neglect and irreversible damage to our living environment.

Interior Space
A private area, bright, clean, intimate, designed, meticulous, a decorative display, flaunting wealth, alienated, ignored.
The space will be formed using a white cast/cement board, white curtain. Minimal information mentions the rationality of the "white city".

Exterior space
Public area, whatever you need, everything that disrupts the cleanliness of the private space, everything that is unnecessary, without thought, lack of care, temporary, "no man's land."
The space will be formed using a picture of a beach on the drywall, documenting its encounter with the garbage left by waves of people. The floor is an extension of the picture with scattered sea pebbles and debris.
The choice of the meeting between the sea and garbage is a statement about our care for our immediate environment and the global environment.

The Balcony
The balcony is the spatial medium anchored in Israeli culture which creates interaction between the public and private spaces. The balcony is a time-out for observation and insight. The balcony is a symbol for the meeting of the two worlds and enables bridging between them.

Materials: Cement Board, white curtain, garbage
Dimensions : 2.5x2.5x2.5 m
