Who
Yaara Rabinovitch, b. 1986
Why
Yaara Rabinovitch’s dinner set, which was cut out of a window pane, visually attends to the artist’s personal experience of life away from home, while pointing to the emotional power
of mundane artifacts. These plates can be reintegrated into the window or used over and over again for a meal facing the landscape. As such, they are imbued with practical, emotional, aesthetic, and symbolic meaning.
The first plate I created in Copenhagen is a trimmed, ‘standing’ plate, due to the lack of storage space in the kitchen cabinets. Different versions of this trimmed form continue to serve me today. I play with the circular shape of a standard plate and decontextualize it – a plate with a hole, a step or a handle, and a plate inside a window.”
