Sigalit Landau is a visionary artist renowned for her evocative and multidisciplinary approach
to art, exploring themes of identity, memory, and the human condition. Born in Jerusalem in
1969, Landau’s upbringing in Israel has deeply influenced her artistic sensibilities and thematic
explorations.
Landau’s art technique is characterized by its interdisciplinary nature, seamlessly blending
elements of sculpture, installation, performance, and video.
One of her most iconic techniques involves the transformation of everyday objects and materials
through unconventional processes, such as submerging them in the Dead Sea’s hypersaline
waters, a practice she has become widely known for.
Through her unique process of submersion, Landau’s artworks undergo a metamorphosis,
encrusted with crystalline salt formations that symbolize the passage of time, transformation,
and the enduring connection between land and culture.
Landau’s works have been exhibited in prestigious galleries and institutions worldwide,
including the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the
Venice Biennale.
Helmet Explanation:
This work shows an outline of a face of a soldier. The work is welded from scrap iron and the young man is wearing the helmet despite the fact that I systematically perforated it as though some inner spikes - his own growing hair pierced these holes in the ceramic shell - like an explosion. Pre-trauma or post -trauma, this soldier’s has wide open eyes and is in a state of shock. Created with a minimal approach the expression indicates that he can barely contain the experiences. While the project in general relates to the protective object and healing of our soldiers, it is my attempt to outline an underlaing portrait and the consequence of being selfless in such a situation of war.
