I Spy with my Little Eye Curators: Sweetransfer By Yoel Peled & Shahar Mizrahi

The behavior of organisms is selective, since at any given moment they only respond to some of the stimuli around them; apply only a handful of the possible responses available to them

The exhibition ‘I Spy with my Little Eye’ seeks to direct a look at the points of human blindness through the act of observing animals

The name of the exhibition corresponds with a children’s game of the same name, in which the participants are asked in turn to notice something in the environment and describe it to the rest of the group for identification

The dual meaning of the word spy – both to engage in espionage and to notice, imposes on the gaze a certain pause and attention within which it is possible to make random or thematic connections within the environment. While the act of noticing offers a sensory and poetic reading, the act of spying is an elusive, contextual act of collecting, which offers a critical reading of the works, raising questions about borders, freedom of movement and surveillance, morals and ethics, and free will

“The subjugation of the animal, which is anchored in theoretical and economic history, is a part of centuries past when human  was reduced to isolated units of producers and services “
