Israeli artist: Sigalit Laudau the salt of the sea versus the salt of the earth

Sigalit Laudau: the salt of the sea versus the salt of the earth

Hezi Cohen Gallery, Jerusalem.

Sigalit Landau is a contemporary Israeli artist who graduated from the Bezalel Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Jerusalem. Deeply inspired by the Dead Sea, she has decided to immerse various objects in it in order to transform them into salt sculptures, all between radicalism and poetry.

Paradoxically, chosification or crystallization creates relationships and emotions. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows tellzs metamorphoses in order to give another life to objects or even an eternal dimension.

In her videos, she stages her own sensations, be it those of the freezing cold in contact with the frozen lake, or those of the heat of the sun on her body drifting on the sea near a desert of fire.

His book “Salt Years” is the first major monograph devoted to the artist’s work. It details the artist’s performances, sculptures, installations and videos, but also her dreams and desires.

She is interested in the links between collective and private memories, archaic myths and utopias through her fragile and tender works, which suggest that nothing is ever acquired regardless of human activities.
