Last Light

Dark visions emerging from the margins between city and wilderness lie at the heart of Klil Wexler’s work.

The exhibition features a sculptural installation and large-scale drawings on canvas, made with natural charcoal and bonfire charcoal. These drawings were created following nocturnal wanderings through the forest near her home, around Nahal Revida and Mount Herzl.

Alongside them stands a floor-based work composed of plaster casts containing shards of pottery and organic materials—created within the same forest. These objects evoke archaeological remnants and fragmented human forms.

The images stem from a close observation of how the city encroaches upon and erases the open landscape, and from direct encounters with wild animals. The works bear witness to human traces etched into the local terrain, explore the tensions between darkness and artificial light, and echoing cycles of creation and annihilation.
