Additional Details: The poster for Ohad Meromi's work The Boy from South Tel Aviv, featured in the exhibition Real Time: Art in Israel 1998-2008 at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, is a striking and evocative representation of the original sculpture. The artwork depicts a tall, lanky boy crafted from unconventional materials such as styrofoam, paper, hair, and plastic beads, emphasizing its raw and handmade aesthetic. The figure’s elongated form and textured surface give it a surreal and slightly fragile quality, reflecting themes of identity, social commentary, and cultural tension. The poster likely centers the sculpture in a stark, minimalistic layout to focus on its distinctive presence, with muted or neutral tones in the background that contrast with the colorful details of the beads and other materials. The boy’s posture, which may seem both awkward and deliberate, evokes vulnerability and a sense of unease, capturing the complexities of life in South Tel Aviv and broader issues of displacement and marginalization. The Hebrew and English text is clean and contemporary, featuring the exhibition’s title (Real Time: Art in Israel 1998-2008), the artist’s name, and the Israel Museum’s branding. The design balances a modern aesthetic with the rawness of Meromi’s sculpture, creating a poster that reflects both the personal and societal themes explored in his work.
