Talia Keinan: The Mountain and the Shivering Fact

FROM THE BOOK

"The works of Talia Keinan are the embodiments of potential, they are open possibilities. They provide moments and places of convergence or proximity and at the same time they postulate the presence of a distance. The basic movement that they contain, the one between materials, images and sounds, does not isolate these elements but rather identifies and reveals their existence within one another. This movement takes place between two-dimensional and three-dimensional space, between appearance and disappearance before the senses; a movement that is translated in a suggestive process into fluctuations between the actual and the imaginary. These fluctuations or intermediate zones are created in the works out of suspensions and diversion in time and space, within which the works are restlessly positioned. In some instances time is internalized in the works, dispersed and rearranged into a rhythm. And space--into a grid. In other instances time is converged, compressed, or condensed into an accident or a fireworks explosion. And space--into a crease, a fold or a mountain."
