"The Ever Changing Past", 2022, Merav Shinn Ben-Alon, Givat Haim Ihud Art Gallery, 

​

Curator:  Hanush Morag

​

Oil paintings on canvas, digital collage works, and prints, drawings originating from sketchbook archives are some of the elements used by the artist Merav Shinn Ben-Alon in constructing her new Solo show installation at the Givat Haim Ihud Gallery in the Emek Hefer.

​

In this installation titled "The Ever Changing Past," she explores the possibility of constructing a new syntax based on various works created by her in different periods and mediums.

​

Retrospection is not a conclusive action for her but rather an observation of how creation revolves around trauma in a non-linear manner. It is an action rooted in movement. The past in the exhibition does not "belong to the past"; it is not static nor functions solely as memory.

​

Instead, it is a living and creative material that charges the present meanings and contexts and offers the potential to build and tell a new story.
