Ella Spector wants to see the Swiss Alps. During her stay at the message salon embassy, she goes on excursions in search of lush green alpine meadows, crystal-clear mountain streams and summer thunderstorms over glowing mountain peaks. All this stands in contrast to the nature of her home country Israel, whose origins and history begin in the desert.
The artist is interested in triggering emotions through film, advertising or art; she works with multimedia, creating videos, objects, sculptures and spatial landscapes. Ella Spectors uses cinematic motifs and strategies in her pictures and installations, evoking feelings through the illusion of technology. Her art is a declaration of love to the cinema and its ability to touch our innermost being. Feelings between desire and dream reveal a longing for unity and transcendence. The artist translates her personal emotions and thus reveals something universal.
Ella Spector, born 1979 in Tel Aviv, is the resident of the message salon embassy in July and August. She studied at the Berlin Weissensee School of Art and completed her Master’s degree in 2015 at the Bezalel School of Art, Tel Aviv.
I look forward to seeing you again at Grubenstrasse! Your Madame l’Ambassadeur Esther Eppstein
