ABOUT
אודות
The new solo exhibition by Jonathan Levy continues his exploration of themes such as boundaries, sexuality, passion, and relationships. In this project, which was photographed over the past five years, Levy invited women of various ages to engage in an open conversation in front of a camera that recorded continuously, knowing they were being filmed for an art piece that would eventually become an exhibition. The conversations took place in the artist's studio, designed in a minimalist style - with a black background, two chairs, and lighting.
Levy and the women he encounters take turns in the roles of questioner and respondent during the dialogue, asking direct questions and revealing thoughts that often remain private. They share experiences, memories, and philosophical thoughts, inviting viewers to listen to the dialogues and become participants through a non-judgmental gaze.
The project explores how artistic action holds the potential to realize the hidden desires of both the creator and the subject, who consciously chose to disconnect momentarily from everyday life, enter the studio space, and embark on an adventure. The result is a performative action of bodily gestures, words, and silences that touch upon life itself more than anything else.
