tel aviv

Naa­ma Roth is a visu­al artist work­ing main­ly with instal­la­tion and site-spe­cif­ic works. The start­ing point of her cre­ative process is often the space itself: ele­ments such as win­dows or doors as well as invis­i­ble aspects such as cer­tain his­tor­i­cal and polit­i­cal con­texts. Many of her works are bio­graph­i­cal­ly inspired or include the social environment.

“home for me is the place that one belongs to, the roots one sprout­ed from. I believe that wher­ev­er we will wan­der and no mat­ter how far our feet will take us, we will always car­ry our home with us.”

Roth will ded­i­cate her home.frankfurt.telaviv project to her grand­moth­er, an Auschwitz sur­vivor, who died last year at the age of 92. Her grand­moth­er had been a pho­tog­ra­ph­er, and her home had always been the set­ting for unique visu­al hap­pen­ings. Using pho­tog­ra­phy and oth­er artis­tic media, Roth will explore var­i­ous sub­tle aspects and expe­ri­ences that the con­cept of home encompasses.
