Meirav
Heiman & Ayelet Carmi
Ayelet Carmi is a painter and installation artist. She holds a BFA from the Department of Fine Art in the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem. Her work often features mythological female figures, as well as hybrids of machinery and the human form. With a background in traditional painting, she re-examines the conventions of representation. Her work displays metamorphoses of the world and imaginary figments. Carmi has been awarded scholarships and grants by the Israeli Ministry of Education and the Israel Lottery (Mifal HaPais) Council for the Arts.
Meirav Heiman is an interdisciplinary artist working in photography and video. She holds a BFA from the Department of Photography in the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem. Her work departs from everyday life, recreating domestic scenarios in a stylized, grotesque manner to provoke a wide range of human emotions. The basic need for love and intimacy is counteracted by the rigidity of family and gender constructions. Heiman has received manu art grants and scholarships, as well as distinctions from international art festivals.
The Collaboration
Carmi and Heiman have been working together since 2014 and have produced seven joint projects to date.
In 2014, they began collaborating on “The Israel Trail: Procession”, which debuted in 2018 at the Petach Tikva Museum of Art, Israel. The Israel Museum later purchased a version of the work, which is currently on display at the Museum until November 2025.
Carmi and Heiman’s joint work “Sphere” (2018) was featured in collaborative show by the two artists at the Neve Schechter Gallery, Tel Aviv. Additional joint projects include “Icosahedron”, Haifa Museum of Art (2016), and “Eclipse” (2015), screened in Israel and abroad. In 2019, Carmi and Heiman presented the solo exhibition “One foot planted” in the Hadassah-Brandeis Institute at Brandeis University. They are currently working on a solo museum exhibition at Beit Anna Ticho, the Israel Museum, which will be launched in March 2025.
