With a strict economy of gesture and an ongoing interest in the notion of performance, her installations attempt to turn memories of ephemeral, fleeting presence into a definite shape.
Yael Davids’ work (°1968) is concerned with the potential of narration immanent to the act of documentation and repetition. With a strict economy of gesture and an ongoing interest in the notion of performance, her installations attempt to turn memories of ephemeral, fleeting presence into a definite shape. Davids, born in Israël, embraces both the conflicted political history of a nation-in-the-making and her own individual biography that has been impacted by loss and the experience of mourning. Breakability and fissure are the central themes of the exhibition at M.
