Shells is a glimpse towards the ethos and narrative, collective symbolism and cultural codes of Israel’s locale.
In ‘Shells 1’, the images of eucalyptus trees were taken in Israel's ‘Ilanot’ arboretum; a botanic garden for acclimatization of plants. The site was founded in the early days of the state of Israel and run by the Jewish National Fund and was used as an area in which flora imported from around the globe was planted, in order to test its suitability for the country's climate. The three remaining works connect concrete experience and memory. They refer to a kibbutz where Vladimirsky lived for a short period of time.
‘Shells 2’ Depicts an assemblage of a building complex that includes a ceremony area, a library, and a commemorative space, opposite the Kibbutz's amphitheater.
‘Untitled 1’ is a photograph of the communal dining hall at the kibbutz.
‘Untitled 2’ is a photograph of an assemblage that consists of concrete and paper elements that recall the brutalist architecture commonly found in kibbutz landscapes. This work is a product of a collaborative process with Noa Schwartz, the partner for a duo exhibition 'Backup Plan', Feinberg Projects Gallery, 3.2015.
