Yetiv Zvi Cohen’s practice is shaped by the tensions, frictions, and contradictions of Jerusalem’s urban landscape. Working across sculpture, installation, collage, and photography, he explores the relationships between material, image, and space through mythological and political perspectives. The gap between the religious-conservative home in which he was raised and his identity as a secular, openly gay artist serves as a central force in his work. Cohen approaches local aesthetics as both seductive and threatening, examining modes of survival that move between fear and intimacy.
