An epigram of fragments to Me – Cha, El to Whom as a God (Michael).
These life diaries made from headlines, throughout 2019-22, as they tell the story of the artist's personal journey. The diaries also include some of his poems and are accompanied by images and collages that reveal and hide the artist's life story, and describe his experiences, anxieties, and a multitude of feelings and existential situations. The combination and contrast between the colorful-seductive images and the short texts, the titles or headlines that appear as free stream of consciousness writing, create and evoke tension and curiosity as we read the diaries, while tempting the reader to touch and feel the sensuality and tactility of the diary's pages.
