Hilla Toony Navok
Light House – New public sculpture in Tel Aviv
08 April 2024
From a distance, Hilla Toony Navok's public sculpture "Lighthouse" appears like a slender, colorful, and tall Tel Aviv residential building, where urban Tel Avivian living capsules merge into a colorful and humorous sculptural play. Throughout the day, sunlight is "trapped" within the marquee, and like sunset and sunrise, it emerges and disappears. Navok employs sculptural use of the Israeli "balcony closure" - a common phenomenon of enclosing the balcony as an additional room within the apartment itself. Here, the sculptural "closure" of the marquee allows light to be trapped inside and illuminate the sculpture and its surroundings.
At night, when the colorful marquees are illuminated, it becomes a beacon whose light seen from afar marks the way and serves as a meeting point. The lights that flicker on and off intermittently resemble the lighting patterns of an apartment building where lights turn on and off as the residents enter or leave.
