In 2003 UNESCO proclaimed Tel-Aviv “White City” a World Cultural Heritage site, due to the largest number of buildings in the Bauhaus/International style in any city of the world.
My work with Bauhaus buildings is based on elements taken from different buildings I see around me, rather than making actual models of buildings. I incorporate on them actual graffiti images from pictures I take around the city. There is an special and unique urban dialog taking place in Tel-Aviv - involving different themes of graffiti, sometimes communicating/commenting with and by the people walking by.
Another element I incorporate in those buildings are inside them- the imprint of my Grandmother's and mother's Macrame napkins - symbolizing the interior of each house and the life it held through time.
This is a tribute to this city– its history, combined with signs of the present vibrant life it leads– the graffiti images.
My birthplace.
