‘Mound’, Tamir Chen’s New Solo Exhibition

These works, physical and tactile, facilitate a direct link between the human body and a changing sense of time. They accumulate and conceal, but also seek to expose their inside to the viewer, sharing with them the submerged space created in the process.

Mounds are created from the rapid actions humans achieve in their lifetime and the cosmos’ profound time spans. They are hills made of a progression of settlements, covering and burying one another. The mound holds the notion of accumulation, concealment and exposure. It encompasses a time continuum, as well as the now, the great tomb, the monument generated in collaboration with time.
