Ruth Beraha
Ruth Beraha’s research investigates elements that can commonly be labeled as evil, stranger, or unknown, focusing on the disruption of the certainties we base our experience of the world on. With immersive audios, sculptures, installations, drawings and photographs, her work makes the viewer consider the adversary no longer as a distant and incomprehensible entity, but as a constitutive part of our identity.
Ruth Beraha has exhibited at Pirelli Hangar, Milan; Arte in Memoria Biennial of Contemporary Art, Ostia Antica, Rome; and MAMbo, Bologna, among others.
