Yael Farhi’s practice is deeply rooted in a fascination with paper. Its ubiquity, its role as a carrier of information and memory, and its simultaneous fragility and resilience provide a rich terrain for exploration. Through this material, she investigates the interplay between structure and chance, drawn to the possibilities of movement embedded within paper’s density and the unpredictability inherent in its form.
Printmaking lies at the core of Farhi’s work, functioning both as a medium and as a conceptual framework. The act of reproducing an image becomes a metaphor for memory itself, reflecting the ways in which time reshapes, alters, and reinterprets the past. Often working on several book projects simultaneously, she develops layered narratives that resist linear readings, inviting viewers to engage with shifting connections, fragments, and multiple temporalities.
