Ella Littwitz
b. 1982, Israel
Israeli artist, 1982.
Ella Littwitz's comprehensive artistic research explores archeology, history, botany, culture and politics through an archival approach. By confronting us with scientific data, historical documents, (archaeological) artefacts and the behaviour of certain botanical species, Littwitz's work reveals the mechanisms behind notions, such as national identity and geographical borders, offering more nuanced perspectives of political constructs and other established narratives.
Recent and upcoming projects include Red Mercury, Basis, Frankfurt (Germany), A High Degree of Certainty, CCA Tel Aviv (Israel), curated by Sergio Edelsztein, Politics in Art, MOCAK, Krakow (Poland), Statecraft (and beyond), EMST, Athens (Greece), Locus Solus, Arter, Istanbul (Turkey), and Inaspettatamente, Cloud Seven, Brussels (Belgium), co-curated by Gregory Lang and Frédéric de Goldschmidt.
Recent acquisitions include the purchase of the installation Hora by the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
