Cover Story
The project was made with Avihai Mizrahi
Can we separate the archetype of the book and its functionality from the materials it is made of? Is it possible to strip the book off of essential qualities such as its content and still tell a story?
In the series Untitled the book serves as a material, physical, and cultural point of departure for the creation of new objects that stand on their own, and cannot be named.
Unlike a book, in which the content is not directly linked to the physicality of the object, the objects in the series demonstrate a direct link between the materiality and physicality and the content of the object and its story.

Album of Silence at the Church of Holy Sepulcher, 2015
An album of recordings that took place in the Church of Holy Sepulcher, in an attempt to examine what is silence, could it be traded, and why does modern man need it so? Beni Bashan created this experiment as another tier in his artistic work, with which he reflects the ills of modern society that overflows with stimuli and noise. Is the longing for silence simply a natural response of the human mechanism, an existential need?
As part of this experiment I have created the “black lamps”, an installation to be located at the unique space of the Holy Sepulcher, function as a non-object. Existing there only to mark the place of a lamp, a symbol of an object.
