Makom by Ran Bagno

A perpetual search of a return to the place that brings us closer to ourselves
In Makom (Hebrew for “Place”), Noa Wertheim engages spirituality with existentialism, our inner world with life around us. By carefully navigating between these poles, Noa turns movement into inspiration, as part of “our perpetuate quest for the place that engages us with ourselves”, she says.

Noa elaborates on her piece, saying that “Makom deals with the concepts of Image and Template. The Image represents the essence, the emotion, the soul; it is our internal world. The Template represents the body, the all-encompassing structure. Between both conceptual frameworks, lays the perpetuity of time. Understanding the temporary nature of our existence, we are confronted with questions of survival – How does it end? Where does it fall? We are engaging these founding questions whilst we are in existence – being in space, being in place, being in the physical form of our body – this a magical structure of contradictions to which we are born, and through it are exploring the paths of life.”
