'OUT OF EDEN' 1/5 Print - Limited Edition of 1

Forget Perfection! As a small child I wanted to view everything from above, wanted to have "Weltübersicht" - an overview, to understand what the world is all about . At the age of 4 I had my first professional goal. To become a parachutist seemed more than logical, to experience life levitating was wonderful idea. I loved to be tossed into the air by my father, to have a clear view and be in motion at the same time. I started to draw, being in motion, while riding a carousel. Thus my second and final career choice - being an artist. I was drawing and painting like a maniac. Without end. Later I studied fine arts at the Bezalel Art Academy in Jerusalem. Slowly people started to take my work seriously, and so did I. That was the right moment to ask myself what was in my art of importance, what really mattered to me. Neither was I looking for truths anymore, nor for answers. Much more interesting seemed questions with an infinite number of answers. Dis-ambiguities. I returned to the childlike perception of the world, governed by curiosity and amazement, no longer focused on reality, but on its inversion. Although painting always remained an element of my work, it was no longer its main part. Installations, objects, photography, digital painting, theater costumes, and performances rounded my art off. Techniques and implementations i used were mostly depending on the basic idea. This is still the case . I work and think thematically. Regardless using a brush, camera, hammer or (computer-) mouse, anything that fits the subject or the concept is welcome. I use every technique I have mastered and I enjoy learning new ones. Change has become my constant and i am enjoying this freedom enormously. Yet regardless which project I start, no matter how simple or complex my work is, there is always a common denominator. I work with motifs and materials which are VOLATILE , INVISIBLE , EPHEMERAL , FLOATING , OVERLOOKED, OBSCURE , IMPERFECT , DILAPIDATED, MOVABLE, MOVING , VANISHING , MYSTERIOUS , AMUSING or ABSURD .... in one word: my work is about TIME. and well, I haven't sky-dived, yet TT, 2013
