Amor is a collaborative work by artist Dor Zlekha Levy and musician Aviad Zinemanas. Zlekha Levy and Zinemanas maintain an ongoing collaboration through which they set out in partnership to explore the relationship between image and sound. Amor serves as an attempt to cast the emotional frequency of longing for love into a physical space. By employing audio and video samples conjoined with a collection of cliché representations of love in music from various cultures, genres and eras, the work aims to pinpoint a particular emotion articulated in Portuguese as Saudade. Referring to a profound sense of longing for someone or something, the term has inspired a great deal of songs and works of literature. 

Curated by Hagit Werner, the work is located in the new Room 25 Sound-based art gallery, above Herzl 16. The work’s location places Amor in the midst of the hustling everyday environment and provides an intimate setting and private encounter between the work and its audience. 

Amor is on view daily, between 6pm-2am and entry to the space is via special entry code. To experience “Amor”, send an email to contact@room25.co.il and receive instant entrance instructions.
