Miriam Nash @ Castor Projects

In this exhibition, Tall Tales, Fall Tails, Miriam Naeh continues her exploration into the phenomenology of absurd through a careful and deliberate infusion of static sculpture and theatrical performance. In this scene of what might be called a “liar’s paradise” of outmost strangers, her organically worm like statues are not just the entertaining grotesque images perceived at first glance, but also and simultaneously real representatives of the uncanny. A gap is created as a reflexive evidence of the synthetic act that fuses the fictional with the real. This gap allows her to shed light upon the artistic act itself, which is manifested through the images that hide from logic, fleeing it towards the imaginary.
