Wine and Coffee
Ernesto Levy
2018
The basis of the work is an empty black notebook. Cups of coffee or wine glasses were placed on it while drinking. Spots have formed. Each time the type of coffee, the wine, and the date of drinking-creation were recorded. On the first page is a drawing put in the pocket on the inside of the back cover. There, I inserted a page with an image of a brain. The name of the book is engraved on its cover.

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.
