Neither the street lamp nor the sun are in full brightness. One is fading in and one is fading out. While on a beach walk in Israel at sun-set hour I noticed a street lamp turning on in parallel to the sun setting. I took a snapshot of this still life in motion – a full spectrum of colors, a daily shifting alteration between a natural phenomenon and an electronic light source.

An existing interval of two minutes between two working clocks on the facade of a church. The photograph was taken at noon with the left clock face showing one minute after noon and the right, one minute before noon. While wandering around Berlin, I noticed a two-minute difference between the two clocks on the façade of the Saint Thomas church in Kreuzberg. I returned to the site with a 35mm camera to photograph the façade at precisely 12:00. This symmetry between the clocks and the work’s palindromic title underscore both the fundamental absence of a non-disrupted “present” and the excessive presence of the past and future.

Site Specific is an ongoing series of rugs that are based on the house number of their locations. The shape and size are determined according to the designated spot of the existing doormat.(34) was designed especially for the entrance of Galerie Gabriel Rolt in Amsterdam (which no longer exists) and was on view during my solo exhibition :-)-: in 2009. It was inspired by the spirit and persona of the gallerist himself and made available as a multiple by request. During my solo exhibition Cool Lonelinessthe rug was also on view. When placed at the entrance of my apartment, this doormat lost its site-specificity, becoming an artifact instead.

Over a period of seven weeks I invited seven female artist friends from different countries to stay with me – each one for one week – for an in-situ dialogue in Kunsthuis SYB. These artists are important personas in my life and practice. During this time, I was looking to bridge the physical distances that separate us and to examine notions such as: leisure and friendship and the lack of togetherness in today’s world. Our time together was meant to provide ideal conditions for communication, for projection of individual information, for collecting in order to create a greater whole – in order to look into how things are created and how we create things.The project is accompanied by a blog – a log of our moments together, a collection of information, experiences and emotion. In 2012 the artist book Exstatic+Streaming was published as a reflection upon this residency through texts and images.
Participating artists: Keren Benbenisty, Gaëlle Boucand, Rada Boukove, Halina Kliem, Shana Moulton and Anat Spiegel.
Zimmer for FAB was made possible with the support of Kunsthuis SYB, Mondriaan Fonds, Fonds BKVB and Institut Français des Pays-Bas.

The publication Ecstatic+Streaming is a collection of texts and images from Zimmer for FAB, a project that I initiated for Kunsthuis SyB in 2011. The publication comprises excerpts from the assembled blog materials, converting their online (non-)existence into printed matter including an introduction by me and an essay by curator Yael Messer. While the blog offers an immediate glimpse into the intimate and sometimes cryptic context of the residency, the publication aims to offer a retrospective reflection into the chronology and outcomes of our unique process together.
Ecstatic+Streaming is self-published. It was made possible with the support of Kunsthuis SYB, Mondriaan Fonds, Fonds BKVB and Institut Français des Pays-Bas.

On Temporary Loan comprises a selection of items from twenty-one windowsill displays, collected from homes in different parts of Amsterdam. Every day another display was unveiled and exhibited in its original state. While these objects were on display at de Inkijk space, a sign was placed on the empty windowsill of the objects’ owner, indicating the objects’ absence to passersby. The title of the work refers to the signs that hang in museums when a particular work from the permanent collection is on loan.On Temporary Loan was the fourth and last project for The Precarious State, a series of projects that was initiated by SKOR in 2008 and held at De Inkijk reflecting upon the concept of identity.

The installation consists of three paper stacks, which invite viewer to take a sheet. On each is printed one of the pairs in the title. The stacks are positioned throughout the space so that “TOO LATE” is the last, thereby guiding the viewer through the space to face each proposition singularly.The impetus for the work came from a found record featuring on one side a song called Too Much, Too Little, Too Late and on the other Emotion; two sides of the same single. The resulting sculpture inevitably changes, diminishing in height and weight throughout the course of the exhibition.

A found postcard of a fountain presented alongside a photograph of the real location in another era, revealing the changes in water-streams over the years.While in a secondhand bookshop in Berlin, I came across a postcard of a fountain with a golden deer statue atop a high column. With neither name nor address, I eventually located it with the help of local people in Berlin: Stag Fountain located in the neighbourhood of Schönberg. I visited the fountain and took a photo of it from the same angle.
