Shachar Freddy Kislev first solo exhibition invites the viewer into a fantastic world spanning the kingdoms of animals, plants and inanimate objects.
A microcosm, in which relationships between humans, animals and plants have changed is displayed. This is a fictional world in which hybrid creatures live in an unusual habitat that looks futuristic and at the same time, it could represent ancient times in which the definitions of functionality have been altered and the separation between animals, plants and objects have become blurred and fluid. Kislev’s world is attractive but a atening, perverse and hilarious. The exhibition moves from looking at the art works as a nature film, observing the phenomena from a Zen, mystical and naive perspective, to challenging basic concepts of the enlightenment and modernism. This is a universe in which there is compatibility between science and art and between rationalism and mysticism. A world in which the primitive, backward and retarded converge with the civilized, rational and empirical.
