Installation delves into inner mind of yaron Steinberg
The Brain/City, with its intricately-woven form, offers an intimate look into the mind of artist Yaron Stelberg. Materializing the graffiti artist’s thoughts into a sculptural visual diary, the installation envisions Steinberg’s brain as a bustling metropolis, with each neural neighborhood representing a different facet of his consciousness. These neighborhoods, like districts in a city, coexist and collaborate, forming a harmonious whole and recalling Steinberg’s innermost thought and emotions. The viewer is invited to discover hidden meanings within the delicate and ephemeral materials, including paperString, and lightThey are metaphors of the transience and fragility of life.

The brain/child creates a bustling metropolis
The human mind has been used as a canvas in the world of contemporary art. Artists have attempted to decode their inner tapestry, translating emotions, thoughts and experiences into tangible form. Yaron Steinberg’s exploration with The Brain/City began with a profound desire to create a platform for self-expression and introspection. This sculptural work is akin to a diary that allows Steinberg to record his thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a tangible and immersive way. The sculpture acts as a window to the human soul, and also a mirror of it. It transcends the boundaries of traditional art into immersive installations.
The Brain/City weaves a narrative through the visual language of art, rooted in Steinberg’s 25-year journey as a graffiti artist Streets, found objects and the materials of urban life are profoundly influential. The exploration began with discarded cardboard — a humble origin that resonates with his enduring affection for the streets and the cities that have shaped his artistic identity.
