growing up in israel Gavity uses her personal experience to document and produce art in many forms on subjects like warfare,international security,privacy and human rights.
In an effort to secure the world against the evils of global terrorism,airport officials have exposed children,the handicapped and old ladies to rigorous and often embaressing searches.What are these dangerous people carrying with them?
Isralei artist Saraai Gavity has answered this question with an exhibition entitled 'privacy-what the fuck do you think I have in my bag?'.
she has used seductively secret and personal items in an x-ray style.The work gives you a glimpse in to what security officers might see through the eyes of an artist as her personal items,sex,drugs,gold and weapons are all decadently packed and vividly displayed,hidden within luggage.I think the idea of using nude bodies of women portrays the womb as they are in the fetal position-asif all life is being scrutanised.
"since septemper the 11th our national security issues,have not only insulted our privacy while exposing our personal affects,but also endangered our humanity and freedom"-Sarai Gavity
