Culture. French anthropologist Claude Levi Strauss was firm in the argument of a divide, writing that there existed \u201conly two true models of concrete diversity: one on the plane of nature, namely that of the diversity of species, and the other on the cultural plane provided by the diversity of functions.\u201d According to Levi-Strauss, \u201cthe symmetry postulated between nature and culture involves the assimilation of natural species on the cultural plane.\u201d (1962) In contemporary times, scholars in the discipline have equated the divide with a male\u2014female symbolism. In this group of works, Dana Levy, Shahar Marcus, Nezaket Ekici, Gilad Ratman and Tommy Hartung are referring to this ideas from different perspectives. By using the moving image medium,they created a array of portraits of different ideas of humans behaviour. In Dana Levy\u2019s works, the human presence can\u2019t be seen in a direct way, but his presence is there. In Shahar Marcus and Nezaket Ekici we can see the relationship between the human to nature, to female and man and in Gilad Ratman works, the human become a live sculpture. The work resists and challenges customary acting practices, choosing to problematize a viewer\u2019s understanding of what it means to perform for the camera. Tommy Hartung deconstructs and analyses cultural narratives. In the video Lilith, his interest is in demons, which represent a self-contradiction and a dimorphic appearance. Today many see Lilith as a feminist symbol.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b1a1841 elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-lightbox\" data-id=\"4b1a1841\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"eael-lightbox.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<div data-lightbox-type=\"lightbox_type_custom_html\" data-lightbox-type-url=\"\" data-lightbox-trigger-pageload=\"1\" data-lightbox-closebtn-color=\"#ffffff\" class=\"eael-lightbox-wrapper\" data-trigger=\"eael_lightbox_trigger_button\" data-lightbox-id=\"lightbox_4b1a1841\" data-type=\"inline\" data-src=\"#eael-lightbox-window-4b1a1841\" data-popup-layout=\"eael-lightbox-popup-standard\" data-main-class=\"eael-lightbox-modal-popup-4b1a1841\" data-close_button=\"yes\" data-esc_exit=\"yes\" data-click_exit=\"yes\" data-effect=\"animated \" data-trigger-element=\".eael-modal-popup-link-4b1a1841\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-lightbox-btn\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"btn-eael-lightbox-4b1a1841\" class=\"eael-modal-popup-button eael-modal-popup-link eael-modal-popup-link-4b1a1841 elementor-button elementor-size-md\">Contact Niio Art Advisor<\/span>\t\t\t<\/div><!-- close .eael-lightbox-btn -->\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"eael-lightbox-popup-window eael-lightbox-popup-window-4b1a1841 lightbox_type_custom_html\" id=\"eael-lightbox-window-4b1a1841\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-lightbox-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-lightbox-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"eael-lightbox-title\">Contact Art Advisor<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<br> \n\n\t\t\t\t\t<script>\n\t\t\t\t\t\thbspt.enqueueForm({\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tportalId: 2720692,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tformId: \"99028100-a33f-49b0-b321-8d0adb1d7540\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttarget: \"#hbspt-form-1778772423000-0967407940\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tshortcode: \"wp\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"hbspt-form\" id=\"hbspt-form-1778772423000-0967407940\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-30381d5d\" data-id=\"30381d5d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bce4c80 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2bce4c80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"191\" height=\"87\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niio.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/braverman.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-478db567 niio-text-about elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"478db567\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Established in 2004, Braverman Gallery is a leading member of the contemporary art scene in Tel Aviv, specializing in video-art and installations.

From a beautiful top-shot the camera follows three professional mine-removers. They move slowly in meditative movement in a no men\u2019s land desert. They look for mines, find some and remove them. This act leaves a visible trail which the artist, dressed as a pioneer, follows, while sowing seeds, from a small bag (refers to Millet famous painting) on the same track the mines were removed from. The sowing as a healing gesture suggests a new hope to come.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56635613 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"56635613\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div style=\"position: relative;height: 0;overflow: hidden; padding: 0 0 56.25% 0;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"niio-media-frame\" id=\"niioWidget1\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.niio.com\/1.1\/index.html?showinfo=false&hideinfobtn=true\n&autoplay=false&mute=true&hidefullscreen=false&controls=true&artworkid=13497&portrait=false&key=98FCYHFAIQ&invitationCode=ln88i8l8ctvxnbh\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen width=\"560\" height=\"315\"  style=\"position: absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height: 100%;\" ><\/iframe><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1855409 text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-tp-heading-title\" data-id=\"1855409\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tp-heading-title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"heading heading_style heading_style6a05e9c79b65b style-1 \" ><div class=\"sub-style\" ><div class=\"head-title \" > <h3  class=\"heading-title   \"   data-hover=\"Shahar Marcus\">Shahar Marcus<span class=\"title-s \">  <\/span><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"sub-heading\"><h3 class=\"heading-sub-title  \"> King of Falafel <\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d237a7b niio-text-run elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4d237a7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The work &#8220;King of Falafel&#8221; is a continuation of Shahar Marcus\u2019s video works that deal with Israeli cultural symbols, manifested by various food rituals. The current work takes place on the moon and depicts a fictional event \u2013 the opening of a new falafel stand. The video begins with a wide-shot of space and continues with Marcus, dressed as an astronaut, landing on the moon. After getting \u2018lost in space\u2019 he finally notices a flag and realizes he has reached his final destination. Thereafter, he opens an inflatable falafel stand and puts up his own flag with the inscription: \u201cKing of Falafel\u201d. After struggling with the making of the dish, his ultimate success is celebrated with a triumphal \u2018selfie\u2019. This humorous piece, shot in the spirit of \u2018space adventure\u2019 films, touches a few historical and contemporary socio-political issues. The major theme of the work is the discovery and conquest of a new frontier. This theme plays a major part in the Zionist ethos and the early formation of Israel. It also echoes the history of America and the Western European Colonial past. By depicting an astronaut who is wearing a white suit with blue stripes that resembles the Israeli flag, Marcus reflects on a contemporary \u2018Colonialist\u2019 phenomenon in the shape of Israeli tourism. This phenomenon is mainly expressed by the opening of Israeli food venues abroad as a form of cultural compulsion. As opposed to the European Colonial worldview of enforcing their \u2018superior\u2019 knowledge upon the local pop<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-669197d9\" data-id=\"669197d9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3fbcca59 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3fbcca59\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-1edf8ee5\" data-id=\"1edf8ee5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13f7e353 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"13f7e353\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"225\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niio.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/shahar-marcus.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6d054387\" data-id=\"6d054387\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68675e3e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"68675e3e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2984678a text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-tp-heading-title\" data-id=\"2984678a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tp-heading-title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"heading heading_style heading_style6a05e9c79f182 style-1 \" ><div class=\"sub-style\" ><div class=\"head-title \" > <h2  class=\"heading-title   \"   data-hover=\"Shahar Marcus\">Shahar Marcus<span class=\"title-s \">  <\/span><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"sub-heading\"><h3 class=\"heading-sub-title  \"> Artist <\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4621e0e4 niio-text-about elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4621e0e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Shahar Marcus primary works in the medium of performance and video art. His initial works dealt with the exploration of his own body and its limitations- incorporating various perishable materials, such as dough, juice and ice. His body served as an instrument, a platform on which various \u2018experiments\u2019 took place: lying on the operating table, set on fire, dressed in a \u2018bread suit\u2019 and more.<br \/><em>Food is also a major theme in Marcus\u2019s works. For instance, his recurrent use of bread as a symbol of essentiality and survival is juxtaposed with military symbols. By working with food, a perishable, momentary substance and by turning it into a piece of clothing or a set, Marcus also flirts with art history; transforming arbitrary objects and materials into something immortal and everlasting.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-66b0eff9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"66b0eff9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7a63c936\" data-id=\"7a63c936\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2fdad8c4 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"2fdad8c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2d16c817 elementor-section-content-top elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2d16c817\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1532e0e\" data-id=\"1532e0e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c9d2169 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"3c9d2169\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div style=\"position: relative;height: 0;overflow: hidden; padding: 0 0 56.25% 0;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"niio-media-frame\" id=\"niioWidget1\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.niio.com\/1.1\/index.html?showinfo=false&hideinfobtn=true\n&autoplay=false&mute=true&hidefullscreen=false&controls=true&artworkid=13496&portrait=false&key=XV4N4OZIHU&invitationCode=jq1t6dslptz20vo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen width=\"560\" height=\"315\"  style=\"position: absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height: 100%;\" ><\/iframe><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77e8a071 text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-tp-heading-title\" data-id=\"77e8a071\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tp-heading-title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"heading heading_style heading_style6a05e9c7a1778 style-1 \" ><div class=\"sub-style\" ><div class=\"head-title \" > <h3  class=\"heading-title   \"   data-hover=\"Dana Levy \">Dana Levy <span class=\"title-s \">  <\/span><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"sub-heading\"><h3 class=\"heading-sub-title  \"> Everglades <\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f787804 niio-text-run elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f787804\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>For Everglades (2014), Dana Levy ventured deep into the wilderness of the Everglades National Park at night.

The deathlike silence of the stuffed animals, encased in glass dioramas, is broken by a group of white pigeons or butterflies invading the museum. In this way, the work creates a sense of tension between the animals in flight, which represent nature, and between the lifeless exhibits, which reflect man\u2019s concern with ordering and

which women dance and become vessels for a certain kind of divinity summoned by the music. In the film, this dance is described as a children story, with toys and colorful lights. The experience of trance is usually described as abstract rather than following a clear narrative. Accordingly, the camera work and editing are abstract and open for interpretation rather than fostering a linear story. The work also draws inspiration from films of Pier Pasolini and the cartoonist R.

Directed with her face down, the artist is floating in an oversized white dress. Her hair and her arms are spread out, visibly lying motionless on the water. On her dress, white flying balloons are attached. This creates the illusion that the artist is held floating above the water as if the balloons are lifting her body towards the sky, indicating a life after death. Poetically she is in between this world and another, pulled down by gravity and at the same time levitated by the balloons: on the border between life and death. The Dead Sea\u2019s name comes from the high salt concentration in the waters, making life almost entirely impossible. By doubling the symbolic importance of the Dead Sea combined with the death-like floating on the water, the artist makes visible the idea of transcendence that is inherent in the Dead Sea.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bd65845\" data-id=\"bd65845\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6e09422 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6e09422\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d7ba208\" data-id=\"d7ba208\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4292043 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4292043\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"259\" height=\"194\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niio.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Nezaket-Ekici.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-af0fbcb\" data-id=\"af0fbcb\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8116bc6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"8116bc6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-862b774 text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-tp-heading-title\" data-id=\"862b774\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tp-heading-title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"heading heading_style heading_style6a05e9c7b158d style-1 \" ><div class=\"sub-style\" ><div class=\"head-title \" > <h2  class=\"heading-title   \"   data-hover=\"Nezaket Ekici\">Nezaket Ekici<span class=\"title-s \">  <\/span><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"sub-heading\"><h3 class=\"heading-sub-title  \"> Artist <\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d6834b8 niio-text-about elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d6834b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Nezaket Ekici (born 1970, Kirsehir) has lived in Berlin and Stuttgart, Germany, since 1973.

I try to create works of art that leave for the viewer free space for associations and new possibilities.

She discovered particular qualities in the behavior of individual birds by setting up situations in which group responses were expected. Employing various camera angles, the artist offers sumptuous close-ups of these exotic animals calmly going about their instinctual business. Over the muffled noise of the birds\u2019 squawks and clucks, she adds a provocative soundtrack of intermittent, startling noises, implying human disturbance of their peaceful realm. The result evokes a sense of suspense in the viewer, while calling into question the relationship between what is seen and heard.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-56dc656c\" data-id=\"56dc656c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6d5cfeb1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6d5cfeb1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7fc2d56c\" data-id=\"7fc2d56c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-84be6ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"84be6ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"154\" height=\"158\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niio.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/nira-pereg.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3a5dc133\" data-id=\"3a5dc133\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-688ecce elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"688ecce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-390ea3da text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-tp-heading-title\" data-id=\"390ea3da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tp-heading-title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"heading heading_style heading_style6a05e9c7b726b style-1 \" ><div class=\"sub-style\" ><div class=\"head-title \" > <h2  class=\"heading-title   \"   data-hover=\"Nira Pereg\">Nira Pereg<span class=\"title-s \">  <\/span><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"sub-heading\"><h3 class=\"heading-sub-title  \"> Artist <\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-441214eb niio-text-about elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"441214eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"block-a19581fba7faea7b17be\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\"><div class=\"sqs-block-content\"><p>Pereg\u2019s multi-channel video installations challenge the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Status_quo\">status quo<\/a>\u00a0of any territory she immerses herself in.
