A One-Night-Only Exhibition at the Seaport, NYC.
Rotem Reshef’s work creates social commentary via immersive installations and paintings that relate to society’s effect on climate change and its relations to the private and public environments. Reshef uses waste vegetation (branches, petals, ferns, leaves etc.), collected in the streets, parks and elsewhere in the urban surroundings, and imprints these “relics” onto her canvases, in a technique that resembles photograms.
In the spirit of Ecofeminism, reacting to a world that has suffered greatly from industries that had excavated and damaged entire natural areas for centuries, Reshef is suggesting a more compassionate approach of coexistence with nature, out of respect and acknowledgment of its importance for centuries to come. Through her artistic practice, Reshef wishes to bring optimism and stability, and to address longevity, historical perspectives and the power of nourishment and life.
