“Magical Threads and Meditative Carpet in the Frequency of Zen Poems”

An essay about HOMELINE by Tal Amitai-Lavi and Tal Frank for Locust Projects' Blog, online edition, June 30, 2021


The first collaboration between Tal Amitai-Lavi and Tal Frank, is a site-specific project composed of three domestic elements created out of unexpectedly weightless materials including, light, projection and delicately-installed, ultra-thin nylon strings, presented in a completely dark space. The modernist white cube of Locust Projects has been transformed by the artists into a black cube, featuring substance without substance. With a simple, reduced syntax of opposites, Amitai-Lavi and Frank have successfully achieved a metaphysical transformation of the space—the three domestic elements hover in the dark, luminous, floating like a feather and, at the same time, powerful and monumental.
