Mein System

[My System]
I found a copy of the book Mein System in the family library. It is in German - published at the beginning of the 20th century - and bought by a relative in Argentina at a shop called 'Pigmalion'. This is an instructional book for physical exercise. I worked on it with watercolors, ink, and Tipp-Ex. The colors are spread inside the doubles. The magic tape I use to strengthen the pages is a kind of structure for the book.

Ernesto Levy, a visual artist and an architect, graduated from architectural studies at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in 1978. He presented solo and group exhibitions in museums, galleries, and cultural centers in Israel and abroad. Since 2015 he has been creating in partnership with Tamar Raban in performance, video, cinema, and ensemble shows. His works are in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; the Tel Aviv Museum of Art; and in private collections. His artist's books are singular and hand-made in which he explores the Rorschach stain as an experimental and conceptual space; and the book format as a diptych that functions as a gate in the concrete and symbolic sense.
