Homages and Reclaimings
The basis of the book is an empty black notebook in which, through random coffee and wine stains, images are revealed, some of which are recorded as tributes to various creators and thinkers. The book creates a space for me to stay and reflect. The names of the artists and thinkers I refer to in this work appear on the last page of the book: J.L. Borges, Leonard Cohen, Joseph Conrad, Enzo Cucchi, Philip K. Dick, Terence McKenna, Olaf Stapledon, Dylan Thomas.

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.
