CosmiClock
I found this 35 year old Chinese clock (from 1990) lying on the street, right next to a trash bin. It looked like it had never been used, the original certificate was still inside. The winding key was missing, so the clock wasn't working at all. I decided to give it a total makeover taking it from a classic Chinese style into a whole new dimension: a journey through time straight into the galaxy. And the most amazing part? As soon as I finished the transformation, the clock suddenly started working! After 35 years of silence, it came back to life but this time in a reality completely different from the factory where it was made back in 1990.
Yotam Achrak
multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of precise geometry and wild intuition. Born into a world of creation as the son of a writer father and the singer and creator Mika Karni, and the grandson of a sculptor and calligrapher, he grew up in an environment where art was not a choice, but a language. Yotam chose to express himself through material, texture, and form. He began his multidisciplinary practice at the age of 16, through journeys between cultures and countries over the course of 20 years, where he absorbed traditional techniques alongside innovative approaches and tools. Later, he studied, lived, and worked in Bangkok as a tattoo artist, a period that shaped his sharp and precise visual language. After a decade of working on the human body as a canvas, Yotam turned to a free and unrestricted language. His work moves between raw carving and sculpture alongside gluing, painting, and precise manual cutting of natural and synthetic materials. He allows the material to lead the process no less than the idea itself. Yotam’s works are one-of-a-kind moments, impossible to replicate, connecting order and chaos, near-obsessive precision and free movement. His visual language is alive, dynamic, and at times mysterious, seeking to evoke a deep sensory experience of emotion, imagination, curiosity, and thought. His works have been exhibited in international exhibitions in major cities including Milan, Florence, Tokyo, as well as in Israel. Alongside his international activity, Yotam maintains a significant digital presence. His Instagram account has tens of thousands of followers and has accumulated millions of views, serving as a living stage for revealing his creative processes. In his work, a constant dialogue exists between reality and imagination, materiality and nature. He does not aspire to create merely decorative objects, but to create an encounter that invites the viewer to embark on an inner journey of their own.
