The work "Hamburger" is an installation that was exhibited at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem as part of the exhibition, "A Matter of Taste" (2002).
This piece was inspired by American Pop Art, serving as a playful nod to the giants of the genre, Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg. Like them, the artist aimed to focus on the everyday, almost trivial object and elevate it to a state of coveted artistic sublimity.
The choice of the hamburger—a distinct symbol of Western consumer culture, representing fast food, instant gratification, and abundance—places it against an almost sacred white wall, in direct proximity to an original work by Andy Warhol (the famous Banana). This encounter creates a fascinating dialogue between the historical canon of Pop Art and its local, contemporary interpretation. The "Hamburger" transforms into a soft armchair, inviting the viewer to relax, touch, and change their perception regarding the boundaries of high art.
