Sketch for a Haifaian hall
Private Cars, Tar, 2019
This hall introduces an ‘intended accident’. The incongruency between the uncontrolled and unintended state of an accident, and the controlled, proportional installation of the vehicles in the hall, introduce an unresolved tension. The cars resemble Cherubim in the Temple; The running tar is an emblem, a raw matter of being and metamorphosis; The car seats, tires and engine parts all partake at this perpetual sacred work.

Garbage cans, Fire extinguishing system, burned metal, 2018
As part of the exhibition in Bat Yam Museum.

Hothouse
Electric Boilers, Sattelite Dishes, Eucalyptus Oil, 2016
In this installation Tomer chose to confront two neighbors who share a common living space – the municipal roof. The boiler contains internal primordial forces. The satellite dish is associated with communication with the outside world, the ability to receive and emit messages. In the gallery space he built a new living environment for the two, they are lowered from the roof to the underground which allows them to express other qualities.

Helium balloons 16”, 2 air condition’s motors, white oleanders, camouflage net, blue color, 2014
In the eastern part of the space, two air-conditioning engines are growling, pushing the helium balloons into a row of white oleanders stuck in the drain. Every so often, thanks to the wind regime, a certain balloon rises until it reaches one of the two western windows located in the space. Windows which are converted, with the help of an IDF camouflage net, into protected pockets. After a while the balloon returned to the line.
