Evasive Harmony is a captivating collaboration by Arch. Yuval Baer, video artist Maor Michaelov, and sound artist Ziv Barash, first unveiled at the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennial. This immersive video installation poses two profound questions: How does our collective consciousness shape reality, and can harmony be found amid our planet’s diversity? The installation explores potential expansions of consciousness and structures that relinquish control, adapt to narratives, and are capable of negotiating multiple relationships and simultaneous existences. It draws upon the classical Platonic structure of human consciousness, the fourfold of the world, addressing each of the seasons in every video. It is inspired by the first Kabbalist text – the Book of Creation, which unveils how every creation, knowledge, and understanding of realities rests upon letters, numbers (spheres), and narratives (history). Using image search, AI, and Kabbalistic texts, each video embodies the visual, energetic, and mystical essence of the four seasons and elements, challenging us to reassess our environments in the Anthropocene age. The installation advocates for the invention of new structures—physical and metaphorical—enabling coexistence in technological, spiritual, and mystical realms. Evasive Harmony offers an intimate, spiritual, and transformative experience, inviting viewers to reconsider their intrinsic knowledge within the classical structures of human consciousness. Immerse yourself in this harmonious convergence of ancient wisdom and contemporary exploration.

Evasive Harmony is an invitation for an intimate, spiritual, and mystical experience. This 4 channel video installation explores human consciousness through Kabbalistic and Greek philosophy concepts. Arriving in Zemin Berlin after being exhibited in Venice during the 18th Architecture biennial in 2023, this is the fruit of collaboration between Arch.Yuval Baer, video artist Maor Michaelov and sound artist Ziv Barash, curated by Lyah Benarroch.
