staging common objects
Eyal PinkasAs an artist I want to create a world inhabited by objects captured in a state of conflict between their inner and the exterior realities. Performing a playful behavior can fill the existential gap that is created as a result of this conflict. On a visual level this behavior leads to forms of disguise. Even chairs, mattresses or wallpapers can be seen as costumes. As always, costumes represent the realm of the imaginary.
