The Historical Exhibition
What ‘s More, Yellow or an Elephant?
Orit Bergman and Anat Warshavsky
In a moment, you will find yourself in a space full of illustrations. These images, created by Orit Bergman and Anat Warshavsky, usually appear in children’s books. They endow the words with life, infuse the written stories with color and movement, and enrich them with additional layers. In this exhibition, illustrations – which we are used to encounter as a two-dimensional entity– first appear within the familiar format of a book, yet cannot resist the temptation of embarking on a three-dimensional adventure throughout the gallery spaces.
The third dimension enabling the illustrations to exist in space also offers an opportunity for a new form of material expression. In the new joint work featured for this show, a huge yellow monster leads a troupe of creatures in a joyful race. Some of them amuse themselves in their familiar flat world on the gallery walls, while the braver ones join the monster hovering among the visitors and rooms.
The walls in the different spaces introduce you to illustrations from books and projects that Bergman and Warshavsky have created over the years. This is an opportunity to explore the medium of illustration outside the framework of the book, and to focus on the relationships between the characters, colors and spaces in a given scene.
The interactions between the characters serve as a tool for expressing human relations and situations that concern children and adults alike: big versus small, strong versus weak, many versus few, and more.
We invite you to walk around and under the illustrations, and look at them from behind and from the side (yes, it’s possible!).
