In an era when iron is nationalized for the casting of swords, Daniel Oksenberg deliberately chooses the softness of ceramic material, inviting moments of devotion to a gentle caressing touch. The artistic endeavor presented in this exhibition serves as an alternative to the incomprehensible violence occurring outside. In Oksenberg’s world, to create means to venture down a rabbit hole, befriend the imagination, and sail towards the realm of fantasy.
The various sculptures installed in the space suggest the possibility of movement. A rabbit peeks out from a plastic bag, while a sunflower follows the sun with her gaze. The blinding Tel Aviv sun disables her function as a lamp. At the end of a wild night, a high-heeled shoe appears to collapse, while a used handkerchief breathes new life through its nostrils.
The paintings on the wall describe an impenetrable picture of reality. A mirror does not reflect, while a faceless figure expresses compassion. Little paintings of abstract fragments depict an unrecognizable internality. Like a Zig Zag girl in a china shop, Oksenberg finds himself immersed in an impossible surrounding. Confronted with a new reality defined by a war over narratives, art becomes an invitation to reconsider human flexibility.
