And artists: Sergey Bunkov, Tenno Pent Sooster, and Maxim Bunkov
The exhibition presents unique artworks that add a new and intriguing layer to the rich world of meanings of Hebrew letters.
The Hebrew alphabet consists of 22 letters which, in Jewish mystical tradition, are considered the building blocks of creation itself.
The works of artists Sergey Bunkov and Teno Pent Soster, in collaboration with digital artist Maxim Bunkov, invite us on a journey into the spiritual essence of the alphabet letters.
Bunkov and Sooster have created 22 unique engravings, each centered around a letter from the Hebrew alphabet.
They have given each letter different layers of meaning through a wide variety of symbols and descriptions inspired by ancient Canaanite alphabetic script and Jewish mystical literature.
These unique creations also include personal motifs from the inner worlds of the artists who immigrated to Israel from the former Soviet Union, adding a moving and special dimension to the works.
The two-dimensional engravings come to life through augmented reality (AR) technology created by digital artist Maxim Bunkov in collaboration with the artists. This technology creates connections between the works and invites visitors to experience the creations in an interactive way.
Visitors to the exhibition can view the engravings through the Artivive application and witness the letters “soaring” in digital space through augmented reality (AR, creating a fascinating dialogue between tradition and innovation.
