Sculpture (MA)

Dear visitor,

Following the COVID-19 crisis, I had to leave my studio and apartment in London. Therefore I suspended working on my RCA final show and retreated to my mother, who lives in Israel. During the lockdown, I stayed for a period in my small childhood home in Jesse Cohen neighborhood in Holon. The inability to leave the house led me to search for an extension of my relationship with the structure. I tried to create new perspectives and dimensions of the Housing-project structure, so I used 3D scanning technology to make a digital copy of the house, including its staircase. This technique is mainly used to simulate public spaces (and art exhibitions, especially during the crisis).

As I wandered into the new digital space, the domestic environment became alien and distant. It felt like I was facing the house for the first time. While working with the scan, I created "Download for Free Now," a site-specific project for the RCA digital platform. You are welcome to roam my mother's house and even download FOR FREE a selection of objects from her home. The files can be printed in 2D or 3D and displayed in your home or exhibition.

Special thanks to Noy Haimovitz, Omer Erlich, Smadar Tsook, Ronnie Karfiol and my mom Edna Erlich
