The works of Ev Pommer and Keren Shalev are shaped by a distinctive engagement with materiality. The inherent qualities and characteristics of the materials they choose form a central element of their practice. At the same time, space itself becomes a material—made tangible and visible through objects and drawings, and approached with great gentleness and attentiveness. In this way, a sensorial experience comes to the fore. In the exhibition, their works are carefully and deliberately placed in dialogue, allowing new perspectives to emerge.
