and on the eyes / black sleep of night

Overview

Dvir Gallery is pleased to present ‘and on the eyes black sleep of night’ an exhibition of Lisetta Carmi, Latifa Echakhch et Simon Fujiwara.

Carmi saw photography as an important tool for 'understanding' reality. The sole purpose of her gaze was to give a voice to the voiceless, highlighting social injustices.

Latifa Echakhch thinks of objects as traces of gestures, of past moments. ‘Several Times' is constructed like a memory that one remembers and that changes slightly as time goes by, with details that become clearer, others that are repeated, others that are erased, others that interfere. It is the memory of several similar scenes, mixing between them, several times the same, but another.

Simon Fujiwara's acclaimed project, 'Who the Bær', was developed during Lockdown in spring 2020. In this new body of work, the artist has created a unique comic book character in the form of a denim bear with a golden heart and an uncontrollably long tongue, who has no gender, race, sexuality or even a clear design. Without an identity, Who exists only as an image, a status that gives her the freedom to roam an online world, appropriating characters, identities, aesthetics, and disguises in an avid search for a 'self'.
