HOME ATLIT
This project was funded by Mifal HaPais Council for the Culture and Arts and The Atlit Local committee.
Home Altit is a work done in collaboration with Roni kantor, Dror ben naftali and Amit zaid.
Home Atlit is a site inspired installation, inspired by where it is located and the community that surrounds it.
Its final shape, unique characteristics, content and design was determined through A process Built with the community.
The installation creates a "connection" to everyday life through an immediate aesthetic experience.
This experience strengthens the mutual connection between us and our environment.
We hope that the interactive aspect of home atlit will Strengthens its meaning, and its beauty will inspire over the years to come.
Home atlit encourages us to think and expand the concept of “home” into shared public spaces, and opens a healthy discourse on its meaning allowing a space where the community can dream together.
Atlit is a locality in the Hof Hacarmel Regional Council, consisting of a variety of different characteristics and backgrounds. It is located between Mount Carmel and the Mediterranean sea.
The process of the project was done in the shadow of the corona. That fact raised a lot of questions during the community meetings about what is “home” and what are our shared spaces.
Things that were once clear to us have taken on a new form
The quarantine that was forced upon us forced us to look inward and rethink.
that's why we decided to place a constant question mark and put it, literally, as The pillar of the house we are building together as a community.
Benches are placed around the question mark, designed using materials that represent Atlit
Blue Plexiglas - the Sea .
Green Plexiglas - The mount.
Wood and iron - nature, the city and the connection.
concrete - urban renewal of Atlit.
The place is a gathering area for the community.
From all angles the iconic contour of a house is seen.
The question mark at the center reminds us all to keep asking and wonder what and who we are as a community.
