Playing with My-Self

Grantees
Renana Neuman
Transmitter, Brooklyn, NY
March 16–April 21, 2024
Exhibition Grant

In this multimedia installation that includes sculptures, animation, video, and sound, Renana Neuman examines ways in which bodies come together and collectives are formed. The centerpiece of the exhibition is a two-channel video projection composed of footage from various museums and cave reserves in Israel. The work explores how histories and memories are inscribed, like etchings on the walls of a cave, yet occluded beneath the glow of nationalist projections. Another central element in the exhibition is a group of small, fragmented figures, coagulating into unique, almost geological, forms that destabilize the coherence of the self. Selfhood is revealed to be neither a static concept nor a wholly organic one, as the installation casts light on the natural elements, the landscapes, histories, and memories that are intrinsic to one’s ever-shifting being.
