The Tel Aviv Museum of Art presents Ilana Salama Ortar: Encapsulation an exhibition on view until February 22, 2014.
In this installation of drawings, the artist speaks in the first person, assimilating memories of displacement and refugeeness, experiences of the present marked by mobility and a sense of fluid identity. Within these, the act of drawing entwined in the mundane is an anchor of stability. The accumulated body of drawings is a stock of vestiges and traces given to constant interpretation. Like a living archive, the installation presents processes of encryption and exposure and their ramifications for the continuation of creation, while everything is folded within the page and its folds.
