Sea of Silence

Sea of ​​Silence catalog was published on the occasion of Yana Rotner's first solo exhibition in Tel Aviv and was edited by the artist in a limited numbered edition of 250 copies.

The catalog opens with a prologue by the artist writing about her encounter with the Bialik House (the home of the national poet Hayim Nachman Bialik which later became an historical museum), about her wanderings, inspiration and the intimate meeting with the artist-poet in his home that led to the creation of the art work. The second text by the curator of the exhibition, Dr. Smadar Sheffi, reveals to us that Bialik renewed the word ""camera"" in the Hebrew language, and the last text by Elinore Darzi gives an in-depth look at the artist's photographs and her work in a unique technique which distances from the decisive moment by recording the flow of time. In the catalog can be found the rare works by the first Hebrew painter Esphir (Esther) Yoselevich, known as Ira Jan (1869‑1919)."
