Noa Yekutieli draws from both personal and archival documentation to explore the global enforcement and resistance toward the formation of historical narratives in her site-specific installation, Pedestal. The space of her first L.A. solo exhibition at Track 16 Gallery in DTLA, reveals Yekutieli’s signature paper cutting technique. Black strings of paper are a stand-in for time passing. The “stretching” of the paper reaches from the top to bottom of the destructive image seemingly upholding a weight it’s not strong enough to hold, as if time and space could collapse at any moment. Similar to our personal experiences, global history too has its ways of remembering and forgetting. There is a sense of leaving while holding on, parting but still connected.
