Ayelet Amrani Navon explores themes of transience and intimacy. Contemplating what it means to be human, in a human body, and what it means to encounter another.
By means of painting, sculpture, and installation, Amrani Navon constructs environments that contain “a place to meet” where human connection can be amplified. This meeting place is the site of her one-to-one performances through which she attempts to achieve a meaningful encounter with a participant, an “accelerated friendship”. The performance consists of rituals based on sensory stimulation, talk, and principles of psychoanalytic theory.
Growing up questioning the idea of attachment to land, alongside a perpetual search for a “place”, she explores forms of belonging and intimacy in circumstances of transition, perpetual migration, and change.
