About the artwork:
Sometimes things looks better if you look at them differently. The camera gives me the ability to look at things differently. Art Photography for me is the best way to express life and nature in a unique way. What I try to do, is simply give life and nature a painted alternative. More soft and sensitive. Different.

40x40 cm
Mixed technique
About the artwork:
This creation can be hung in 4 directions, like the reality of life – all depends on the angle we choose to look at life… and the connections and the special mosaic of life.
About the artist:
Reli Wassler-is a contemporary artist. She grew up in a pastoral suburb of Netanya, with an artistic mother that in addition to art was a photographer and fashion designer. Art was the language spoken at home. Reli’s art, which includes the use of a wide range of materials, a vivid, unquenchable imagination, and deep thought, reflects her beliefs based on her love for Israel, its roots, heritage, nature and people. Reli divides her creations to two subjects, the first; Fine Art where the idea is the major guide for the creation and often there is writing enclosed and is part of the creation itself. The second subject is "Creating With Love", where the main idea is a very unique mosaic or mixed media that’s combines stones, glass, wood, metal etc…Lots of Judaic and Kabala Jewelry, Stars of David up to large mosaic. In the art issues, Reli deals with many subjects. A lot of Judaic, Jerusalem, femininity, Israel, Social and Political issues, Ancient maps, ancient coins etc. and everything in her very special mixed techniques. During the summer 2006, the last war, Reli spend two weeks with her small children in a shelter in Safed under severe booming, that was the inspiration for the exhibition "North's Home Front at War", and lots of the creations were created in the shelter. 2005- Joined the art group "And They Couldn't Say" a group of Artists that bring up exhibitions with social issues. 2006- Created the Jacuzzis TV set for the Israeli channel 3 soap opera "HAALUFA" 2007- Reli is the home curator of "Tasha Gallery" in Tel Aviv . 2007-2008- Managers the Beyt Hayotzer", An Art School that is part of Zafeds Regional College, in which she leads a unique project of contemporary art. 2007-A Board member of ZHR- Zafed-Hatsor-Rosh Pina tourist Administration. 2007-2008- Leads clusters of artists through projects of empowerment in the frame of Mati Norten Galilee. And curates exhibitions in honor of Israel's 60 birthday "Opening eyes to Israel's 60th birthday". And "The many faces of Kiryat Shmona" 2008- Reli is the home curator of Beit Yigeal Alon Gallery, Safed 2008- Reli is the home curator of Prop. Mer Museum on the Restoration Site (national historical site)in Rosh Pina. Where she is leading her project off the seven Kinds that Israel was blessed with (Art and Tourism) 2008- An active member of the General Exhibition at the Artist colony in Safed. Reli specializes in creating original conceptual Israeli art for companies with keeping in mind and in spirit their ideas and convictions. One of the ideas that lead her in her "so Israeli" creations is the bond between the land of Israel and the Jewish soul ….her love for Israel, the land, the religion, tradition is reflected in her work.One of her guide lines is recycling, and as so, she usually works on recycled wood. You can find her work in her Gallery in the artist colony in Zafed, in other Galleries In Israel and on many websites on the net.15 years ago, Reli founded the S.O.S Organization in the North of Israel, in an attempt to find a solution for distressed, homeless animals. Reli’s own home is often a shelter for wounded or homeless animals, in addition to her being a busy business woman and a mother to two wonderful kids. Her love for animals and ability to help and give has no boundaries. Everything and anything is possible and this can be seen in her art too…every whole or part can join to form something bigger and better.

About the artwork:
When photography was invented, people thought that “the camera can’t lie” and therefore a photographic portraiture is objective. Throughout the 20th century, as more and more portraiture artists adopted photography as their artistic medium, it became clear that portraiture is not an objective process. A portrait represents the relationship between the artist and the sitter, which is interpreted in the mind of the viewer. It is also clear that a representation of a person depends on many aspects that can affect the outcome. Things like state of mind, thoughts, environment, and interaction with other people. So how can we have an “objective” portrait of someone? How can we best represent a person and their multifaceted personality? This portrait is part of series that explores the portrait of a woman through intimate relationships in her life. She will look different when photographed with her husband, her mother or her best friend. Sometimes they are in the frame; sometimes they are just present in the room. The portrait Hagit 1 was taken with Hagit alone on the set.
About the artist:
I am a portraiture artist, exploring the subtleties of human relationship using physical-digital installations. The challenge is the same as that of any portraiture artist, be it photography or film, namely to show the subject's persona; to present the artist's point of view; and to create a moment of intimacy with the viewer. “Moving Portraits” is a new medium for portraiture. Adding technology to a traditional form of art and communication enhances the qualities and meaning of the “old” art form. In my works I am exploring how the essence of portraiture can be enhanced through digital technology, specifically by adding motion and interaction to the traditional static portrait. By incorporating a short motion sequence into the portraits, I am revealing more about the inner personality of the sitter. By incorporating interaction into the portraits, using a variety of sensing techniques such as presence-detection; gender-detection; or user viewing-time measurement, I, the artist, influence the viewer’s experience and create a stronger, more intimate connection between the viewer and the portrait. By setting up networks of portraits that interact with each other, I define a new collective meaning that emerges from the interaction of individual portraits.

About the artwork:
Manja (2010) is performance-based slide show and a series of stills. Using different low-tech projectors I created a performances in my studio using transparents, film celluloid, ink, paper cutouts, mirrors and broken glasses. Digital camera that is attached to the projection apparatus then took pictures of the ever-changing projection. At a later stage I used those images to create a slide-show that functions as series of sequences in an open-ended narrative.

About the artwork:
Dealing with the destruction of architecture as a metaphor for loss, my paintings are an interpretation of news photographs from Palestine. The photograph is my way to look at the Palestinian reality, but at the same time it is a barrier between this reality and me. While choosing photographs from the Internet or from published archives, sources that are available to anyone, I am aware of the ambivalence of those images that are both documentation and manipulation.
About the artist:
Born in Jerusalem, Israel, Noa moved to New York City to pursue a Master’s degree in Fine Arts at the School of Visual Arts. After completing her studies Noa stayed in New York City where she currently lives and works. In 2010 she has been awarded participation in the AIM program at the Bronx museum, invited to Yaddo artist residency in New York State and participated in the Triangle Arts Workshop in Brooklyn. Her work was recently part of a group show in Lombard Freid Projects that has been reviewed by the New York Times.

Estimated Value: $1800

About the artist:
Miriam Cabessa was born in Casablanca, Morocco and raised in Israel. She lives and works in New York City, and has since 2000. She has shown in Israel, Europe, and the United States. Some of her resume highlights include:
·Representing Israel in the Venice Biennale, 1997, Venice, Italy
·Winning the Nathan Gottesdiener Prize of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, as well as having a one-person show at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 1995
·Showing at galleries in Chelsea, including Stefan Stux, Moti Hasson, Lyons Wier, Vered Gallery of East Hampton, and Slate Gallery of Brooklyn
·Being a part of permanent collections of the Jerusalem Museum, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Haifa Museum, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC, as well as various private collections in Israel, Europe, and the US
Miriam Cabessa’s paintings are made using the movement of her body, her hands, pieces of fabric, and the rhythm of her breathing to create the work.
Using oil on linen, the surface of the painting becomes sensitive to her touch, making the relationship between the art and the artist very intimate; it becomes a feminine abstract. Cabessa’s paintings are stark, in-focus, abstract explorations of her own isoelectric line and heartbeat, traces of movement that emerge from stillness.
Cabessa is currently involved with several projects based in New York City, the Hamptons, and San Diego, as well as Milan, Italy and Tel Aviv, Israel. In January of 2007, Miriam was featured in an Israeli documentary film called Dreamers featuring nine Israelis living in the US: artists, fashion designers, and movie producers among them. In 2009 she was invited by the PULSE Art Fair to create a 24-foot painting on site.

About the artwork:
I am a multi-disciplined artist, my work includes: photography, installations, paintings, video, performance and sculpture. The work I am donating to ELEM’s art event is from my recent series of “cut money” which was initiated in 2008-09 from the global economic recession. The work deals with notions of relationships, sexuality, death and money and the fact that one dominates the other.Real money notes ranging from £5-£50 are cut into shapes and mounted into card or wood creating a collage. The 2 pieces: Princes DIE with skull and Princes DIE with butterflies are depicting these issues of power control money and status: Princes Diana’s face are cut from the money note while the queen’s face appears through her. The butterflies represents Diana’s metaphorical resurrection and transformation into immortal symbol, and are creating a paradoxical contrast to the queen’s face piping through the centre.

Landscape project has been shot in Israel and lasted for a year, under the definition of searching for external landscapes whom I found ambiguous or abstract enough to represent a place that can be everywhere, and therefore stays nowhere at the same time. It was influenced by lots of theories about landscape and photography, trying to capture thoughts or wonders about the inability to represent anything. The landscape is trying to 'get out' from the photo's borders, and wander around, a movement which resembles the way it was made. Almost all the photos were going through some kind of an external intervention besides the shooting act, either was patched on itself by Photoshop or double exposures, or been cut by hand and recaptured again. The cut landscape was made from the thought of two dimensional versus three dimensional objects. The landscape is being cut twice: first by the photography act, which cuts the land and leaves mainly the sky, and second by hand, that tried to copy the leftovers of a ceiling fan, and had created a Ray of Light of it's own. While reading the story..in my imagination I saw angels surfing in the air...looking for the person who need them to be around him and helping to explore the light

About the artwork:
was inspired by my father's book "light on stage" from 1933. The book deals with with the contrast and tension between light and darkness on stage. In "border light" I use the text as a metaphor for drawing OUR gray lines between light and darkness
