the work was conceived in order to reflect human feeling and imagination
israeli director amit drori has given life to the handcrafted creatures of tel aviv-based artist/designer duo noam dover and michal cederbaum in a production titled ‘savanna, a possible landscape’ recently shown at the barbican in london. the beasts, large and small, invited the audience to experience an exotic menagerie of moving sculptures, made up of an eclectic selection of meticulously crafted robotic animals – elephants, antelopes, giant tortoises, birds, snails and caterpillars. the work was conceived in order to reflect human feeling and imagination – the pieces made with striking attention to detail;able to move through the careful orchestration of servo motors and remote control. dover and drori collaborated to create the creatures – controlled by puppeteers in the production – while michal cederbaum organized a collection of projections for the show, representing an africa in the bowels of the barbican. following the performance, audience members are were able to interact with the automated animals – entering deeper into the mind’s eye of the creator.

“Israeli artist Amit Drori is a theatre director, designer, and maker of beautiful, moving objects. His stage work creates a theatrical universe based on the use of mechanical and robotic wood-crafted artifacts, live performers, video projections and open source technologies. His projects evolve through a long process in which theatrical imagery and human perception work together like a beautifully complex machine.”
Living and working in Tel Aviv, Noam Dover and Michal Cederbaum collaborate to the extreme. Coming from different fields of design and often working with other artists and designers, their creative dialogue strives to be a broad and multidisciplinary one.
Together, their work has so far spanned furniture and hand-made objects, scenography, interior design, graphic design and street art.
They are engaged in questioning the traditional boundaries between design, crafts and production; fusing techniques and materials; looking for ways in which design can be soulful; and hoping to create objects that reveal both their essence and the process of making.
