The event

«Salt» is Ella Littwitz's first solo exhibition in Rome and continues the inquiry the artist has pursued for more than fifteen years into how landscape becomes territory, crossed by stories, beliefs, memories and systems of belonging that settle over its physical reality. At the center of the project are the Dead Sea and Mount Sodom, places where geology, myth, religion and history coexist in a layering that is both material and symbolic.

The exhibition unfolds in the tension between two timescales: the human one, which tries to order the world, preserve its traces and give stability to its narratives, and that of matter, which keeps transforming beyond the categories through which we try to understand it. It does not offer a truth about the territory, but asks how much of what looks stable is simply a change too slow to perceive. On view are sculptures, works on paper and a sound installation.

Ella Littwitz was born in Israel in 1982 and lives and works in Tel Aviv. She has had solo shows at institutions such as CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo, the Haifa Museum of Art, Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen and S.M.A.K. in Ghent, and her works belong to the collections of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Israel Museum and Kunsthaus Zürich, among others. In 2024 she received the Beatrice S. Kolliner Award for a Young Israeli Artist from the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
