Zadok Ben-David's inspiration derives from nature, science, magic and illusion. From Evolution and Theory (1995), where he explores scientific discoveries, to the psychological installation Blackfield (2007), with thousands of flowers, and the magical The Other Side of Midnight (2013), which incorporates hundreds of insects, one of the characteristics of Ben-David's work is the use of multiplicity as an organizing principle. He creates an alternate amplified viewing space where the relationship between viewer (human) and artwork (nature) is both sacred and destabilizing. The new ongoing installation People I Saw but Never Met, features thousands of miniatures of people that he has photographed and drawn during his travels, suggesting ways in which we are both isolated yet always close together. Together with outdoor works, completed over a twenty-year period, this new book brings these four installations together for the first time, in all their magical detail.
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is one of Shakespeare's most renowned plays, celebrated for its diverse staging possibilities. The work explores the relationships between genders in various societal contexts and a magical fairy realm. These relationships range from passionate love to strictly arranged marriages. The multitude of characters and layers of action creates a vibrant cosmos that culminates in comedic and fantastical harmony. The story follows Theseus, the ruler of Athens, who intends to force Egeus' daughter Hermia to marry Demetrius, but she loves Lysander and flees with him. Hermia's friend Helena, who is in love with Demetrius, betrays their escape. In the forest, a group of craftsmen rehearses a play to honor Theseus' wedding to Hippolyta. There, the fairy king Oberon and his sprite Puck create confusion with the juice of a magical flower: Titania falls in love with a transformed donkey, and both Lysander and Demetrius become infatuated with Helena, leading to a series of humorous entanglements.
