The Golden Sheaf part 2 (2023)

March 14, 2023 Merav Tzur

This project deals with creating a history to the place where Israel exists today using artificial intelligence. The photographs “document” archaeological research by the Israeli Antiquities Authority, which revealed discoveries proving the existence of utopian tribes of women who were fed up with patriarchal conventions, left their homes and established communities that flourished in the […]

The Association for Unborn Humans- Confidential Parent/Unborn Child Agreement (2019-2022)

January 30, 2022 Merav Tzur

Humans have physical, emotional, and cultural mechanisms that serve to sustain survival and reproduction. It is only natural that, without much reflection, they continue to perform the function which they were born to execute– producing new generations of children at a rate of 131.4 million births per year. Millions of children are born into a […]

The Third Circle of the Lower Bottom (2021)

January 14, 2021 Merav Tzur

The Lower Bottom is a hellish space modeled on the formal organization of Dante’s Inferno. While the Inferno creates a world that reflects the worst fears of the medieval Catholic subconscious of Dante’s time, the Lower Bottom is a critical dystopia composed of multiple layers that speculate on the darkest contemporary human spirituality. The Third Circle […]

The Witch Corrected (2018)

January 8, 2019 Merav Tzur

This project looks on how women have been portrayed in myths, fairy tales, and folklore, and how those restrictive archetypes contributed to the empowerment of the pervasive patriarchy. I inhabit roles, such as the witch, and depict her doing everyday activities. These depictions upend the long-standing view of these “dangerous,” powerful outcasts by placing them […]
