Cactus

Schahar Freddy Kislev‘s work, Cactus, devours the downstairs floor; working with organic and inorganic materials, Kislev’s work playfully engages in the relationship between object, pedestal and space. The upper object first appears to be natural – materialistically and formally – while from a close investigation revealed as completely synthetic. As the viewer’s gaze strolls downwards, the wood pedestal becomes apparent.

Kislev’s materialistic choice engages in a Minimalistic discussion concerning the relationship between an artistic object, the space it is placed in and the stand on which it resides.
