This is the sixth project of the Fourth Wall series. The mission of the artists is to analyze paper in its different forms and dimensions, and adapt it to the given space. On one hand, we observe the exhibition through a window that appears two-dimensional, but on the other hand, we can perceive the three-dimensional qualities of each object.

“paper@objects” lends itself to two interpretations: the first is the material—paper, and the second is the concept, the strategy, the perception of what a paper object can represent. Each artist approaches this in their own way, using their own visual language.

Eitan Pimentel uses photos and drawings of images collected from around the world. His piece consists of a paper scroll installed on the floor that extends up to the ceiling.

Norma Drimmer uses photography on paper combined with newspaper cutouts to reconstruct urgent political questions. The elements are positioned in ways that change depending on the viewer’s angle, offering multiple dimensions within the image.

Ophira Avisar creates works from folded aluminum paper, forming surfaces from which figures emerge.

Gotlind Timmermanns uses decorative paper typically meant for gift wrapping. Her work is installed in the corner of a room, resembling an expensive fabric and evoking luxurious traditional materials—even though it is made only of paper.

Rolf Maria Kruckels experiments with different forms of drawing and varying modes of presentation.

Doron Polak has created folded paper boats of various sizes over many years, all made from newspapers. The political meaning comes from both the material and the reference to fragile migration journeys.

Anat Negev creates folded objects that recall everyday items while simultaneously serving as historical or symbolic references.

Nicola Rubinstein draws on found objects. The colors and textures of each item are integrated into the artwork itself.

Debbie Essev writes poetry and draws on disposable paper overalls—normally used for sterile protection and later discarded.

Dorit Bearach curated the exhibition.
