A wonderful mistake in translation
Statement
Nitzan Satt is an architect and artist by training, tends to engage in architectural spaces and the human conflicts embodied in them.
As someone who grow up and was educated on a Kibbutz, I testifies that the alternative definitions of space, in which the private is not private and the public is not public, produce within my work the need to deal with spatial conventions along side with a constant search after an intimate space.
Generally, In my work, these are translated into installments that invade the exhibition space and cause physical disruptions and interruptions in the space. Familiar elements from the domestic sphere, such as verandas, windows, doors, panels and doorframes create complex mazes or aggressive buildings that tear apart and rebuild the balance of power in the space.
Since most of my pieces are location dependent installations whose narrative and physical arrangement are suited to a specific place, in this exhibition I will present the conceptual images at the root of the installations. The exhibition will be constructed of six images, accompanied by documentation of the installation inspired by the image. This exhibition allows a glimpse of several social conflicts that reflect the current Israeli spirit.
