Moran Sanderovich
Curating: Lars Sergal

During the exhibition months (December and January), Barbur Gallery will operate as a living creative space.

Moran is working on-site on a performance and a new series of sculptures, and the audience is invited to be partners in the creative process in real time – to observe the work as it develops, to be exposed to the raw layers behind the creation, and to take part in performance events that will take place throughout the exhibition.

The exhibition is a continuation of years-long research on the transformative body as a political, emotional, and material space.

At the center of Sandrovich’s work stands the body as an arena of opposing forces: a space where victim and aggressor exist simultaneously, alternating with each other and trapped in a closed circle. The body appears as a site of injury and control, but also as a space of resistance and possibility for transformation. Violence is not presented as a one-time event, but as a process that is inscribed in the body, repeats itself within it, and shapes its movement and form.

The sculpture series presents human-sized hybrid entities that combine human, animal, and mechanical characteristics. These entities are composed of objects collected in the urban space of Jerusalem; industrial waste, artificial body parts, and technological components combined with silicone and natural materials. Through this material language, the works become sites of testimony that echo survival and destruction, moving between vulnerability and cruelty. The wounds and traumas appear as portals with potential for change, inviting viewers to question the ways in which violence lives within us.
