Eye of the Sea

Grantees
Yael Efrati
2015
Project Grant

Eye of the Sea included five works that Yael Efrati defines as "documentary sculptures” since they look and function like sculptures but are closer in concept to photography. Referencing typical apartment architecture of the 1950s and ’60s in Israel, Efrati used materials such as formica, terrazzo floors, mashrabiya tiles, and plastic shutters, all of which play with the permanence and the mutability of light and create a certain warmth that challenges the objectivity demanded by the minimalist aesthetic governing their design. Eye of the Sea presented in Efrati's solo exhibition at the Center for Contemporary Art Tel Aviv in 2016.
