The work was created under the impression of the events of October 7, 2023. In the process, there are works that refer to the subsequent events since then. It is part of the „textile pieces“ series, in which the artist process themes that personally affect her in a sensitive and intuitive way.

It is important for me to emphasize that I do not take any side in this war.

The series is haunted by the provocative philosophical inquiries found in Bataille’s „Erotism: Death and Sensuality“, exploring the boundaries where desire meets its ultimate cessation.

„Textile Pieces“ form a body of work created in the gesture of a sketch, asserting their own independent artistic claim. Liora works spontaneously, following her pure intuition in the moment.

A „Textile Piece“ can be presented as a standalone work or as part of a series. Framing is available upon request.

Installation in the Bloom Exhibition Space, Düsseldorf

Under the extraordinary circumstances of the 2021 lockdown, I organized a duo exhibition with the artist Jürgen Krause in the BLOOM exhibition space in Düsseldorf. The show, curated by Ji Sue Byun and programmatically titled „Distant Call,“ formally and content-wise reflects the experience of distance during that time, while simultaneously creating a space—despite the pandemic-related restrictions—where the experience of art and culture becomes possible again.

In the shop window, the video performance „Tagebuch der bösen Taten 19 I“ (engl. Diary of Evil Deeds 19 I) is running on a screen: A speaker reads from a „Diary of Evil Deeds.“ The sound, captured via a contact microphone on the windowpane, can be heard like a whisper on the sidewalk. After every secret confession, the video images show the artist—an act of additional penance—putting on her „Bethandschuh“ (engl. Prayer Glove). This custom-made functional garment encloses the hands in a praying posture and can only be put on with the aid of the mouth.

Two models of the „Prayer Gloves“ are positioned as artifacts in the exhibition space, thus functioning as a link between the performance and the series of „textile pieces,“ which were visible on a linear wooden pedestal in the center of the room.
