Full Program


My talk, titled The Nervous System, asks how shock, fear, and information transmit through social and biological bodies, and focuses on visual and sensory proximity to images of atrocity in an era when “bare life” is increasingly managed by computational protocols.

Minor Inscriptions, 2025
Minor Inscriptions investigates the invisible borders imposed by martial law in Jaffa between 1948 and 1950. Using archival documents, maps, testimonies, and video fragments, the work traces boundaries that have vanished physically yet remain embedded in current spatial, technological, and political infrastructures, actively shaping the present. It reflects on forms of "bureaucratic violence," where control is administered through invisibility, enforced via protocols and permits—daily practices that regulate movement and access. Although martial law officially ended, its logic persists, continuing to structure contemporary urban life.

The work was first exhibited as part of At City Level, at Tel Aviv-Yafo City Museum Curator: Yael Messer&#38;nbsp;

Winter, 2025
Choreographic Devices 4 at ICA, London&#38;nbsp;Choreographic Devices is an annual event series that activates the choreographic as a methodology for trans-disciplinary forms of inquiry and rehearsal. Bringing together protagonists from across an expanded ecology of practices, this multi-format forum speculates on and with choreographic arrangements and their complex modes of co-production. Choreographic Devices tests how material assemblages, organisational forms, and modes of being alongside each other, might be choreographed otherwise. Contributors to the fourth iteration include Murat Adash, Anjana Bala, jee chan, Ofri Cnaani, Denise Ferreira da Silva, Ella Finer, keyon gaskin, Jelena Golubović, Martin Hargreaves, Raimundas Malasauskas, Arjuna Neuman, Nissa Nishikawa, Bilawa Ade Respati, Heidi Rustgaard, Sara Sassanelli, Edgar Schmitz, SERAFINE1369, Esther Siddiquie, Vaida Stepanovaité and Bartosz Zurowski.

Leaking Collections: The Digital Afterlife of Cultural Objects
An online event. Book!6:00 – 8:00pm

A online presentation/conversation between curator/researcher Annet Dekker, researcher and curator Daniela Agostinho and artist&#38;nbsp;Ofri Cnaani, as part of The CONTACTLESS CONDITION exhibition public programme, moderated by Prof. Joasia Krysa.


Inspired by the works in the exhibition, the conversation will address the politics of digital collections and the data afterlife of cultural objects. In recent years, many museums have incorporated data-driven tools into their digital collections. However, just as the drive to archive information has historically been fundamental to the exercise of colonial power, the digitization and datafication of collections are far from a purely technical endeavour. Recent research has shown that data infrastructures often perpetuate the colonial taxonomic gaze, transforming it into a symbolic calculus. This event will explore possible critical methodologies required to disseminate cultural knowledge while simultaneously protecting it, especially in the context of ongoing colonial power dynamics. The discussion will also consider how practice-based methodologies can trouble the afterlife of cultural data, and reimagine how we engage with and interpret these collections.

Device Amnesia: Lecture Performance in Two Parts

In this lecture performance, artist Ofri Cnaani will present two segments from her ongoing Digital Afterness research project. The performance serves as a method to develop a lexicon that activates the space between theory, visual representation, and speculative writing. Leaking Lands (Part One) examines the catastrophic fire that destroyed two centuries of treasures at Brazil’s National Museum. The work investigates the residues of body, data, and matter left behind, forming an ecology of ‘leftovers’ that exists between eras and orders. Motivated by the notion of non-human testimonies, this piece aims to splice scientific and poetic knowledge to capture the post-fire transition from physical or biological form to the digital realm, through the perspective of six entities. Device Amnesia (Part Two) explores the island nation of Tuvalu’s journey toward becoming the “First Digital Nation” amidst the looming threat of climate change, using digital twin technology. The work explores the nation’s digital transition, through the lens of four technological devices, each representing a different techno-political affair, to ask how accumulated local knowledge could become intelligible and reproducible across contexts.

Unmaping LandscapesGiselle Beiguelman, Ofri Cnaani, Thiago Leiros-Costa, Pedro Oliveira
Moderated by:&#38;nbsp;Lisa Deml

The first roundtable explores how memories are inscribed in datafied landscapes and across networked cartographies. Contesting the notion of the digital as a “terra nullius,” artists and researchers Giselle Beiguelman, Ofri Cnaani, Thiago Costa-Leiros, and Pedro Oliveira retrace the ways in which colonial systems, national identities, and extractivist economies are carved into virtual topographies. Through their respective practices, ranging from media archaeology, ethnomusicology, transmedial performances, and anticolonial studies of listening, they investigate the correlations between geographical and computational territories and the different agencies and ideologies that seek to claim them. Considering the mnemonic nature of platformed landscapes, this roundtable seeks to uncover buried histories, to gather scattered testimonies, and to activate ruins as repositories for multiple histories, both real and imagined ones.

Ofri Cnaani: The Contactless Condition
Exhibition Research Lab (ERL), LiverpoolExhibition Research Lab is delighted to present the first UK solo exhibition of artist and researcher Ofri Cnaani: The Contactless Condition, curated by Or Tshuva.the exhbtion features four of my most recent projects created since 2020. Developed during the onset of a global pandemic and its subsequent crises, this selection of artworks – spanning video, sound, and photographic installations – raises questions of access, power, and tangibility while suggesting an expanded understanding of the ‘Contactless’ not merely as a technological solution, but as an emerging living condition.

How do we keep a line of thought or the horizon line in these very dark days?&#38;nbsp;
a four-hours perfromance where I tried to maintain a line and thinking through the very basic yet highly political question of the moment: Where do we draw the line?

Political Imagination Workshop at the&#38;nbsp;Van Leen Institute with Mushon Zer AvivThese are days of thick darkness. Many who live between the river and the sea can no longer imagine a future. For two days, I joined Mushon Zer Aviv to co-lead day long workshops about political imagination here and now. We were thinking about structural imagination, critical imagination,  and a much needed creative imagination and borrowing methods from science fiction and tools from  design fiction to consider the predicted, probable, plausible, possible, and preposterous futures that we want to see in the layered lands between the river and the sea.

The Space between Us: somatic knowledge and new techno-spatial scopes8.8.24Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts and Museum der Moderne, Salzburg:

Listen to it like you haven’t been born yet, tell it as if you are still in the surrogate womb
Ofri Cnaani with Agnė Jokšė, Carmen Hines and Morgane Billuart.How deeply are we attuned to the technological systems in which we place ourselves, and which we place in ourselves? The programme will focus on the role of platform capitalism in shaping and orienting user bodies, gender and sexuality. Combining performance, participatory experience and live podcast, the evening will bring together artists Agnė Jokšė and Ofri Cnaani, and researchers-creators Carmen Hines and Morgane Billuart.

Choreographic Devices&#38;nbsp;
co-orgnized by&#38;nbsp;Murat Adash, Ofri Cnaani, Edgar Schmitz, Sara Sassanelli

Choreographic Devices is an annual event series that activates the choreographic as a methodology for trans-disciplinary forms of inquiry and rehearsal. Bringing together contributors from across an expanded ecology of practices, this multi-format forum speculates on and with choreographic arrangements and their complex modes of co-production. Choreographic Devices tests how material assemblages, organisational forms, and modes of being alongside each other might be choreographed otherwise.&#38;nbsp;
For our first Vilnius iteration I co-hosted with&#38;nbsp;Vaida Stepanovaitė
A habit is a form. A thought is a form. A friendship is a form.
Ofri Cnaani and Vaida Stepanovaitė with Agnė Jokšė, Esther Siddiquie, Paveldo institutas, OMSK Social Club, Tarren Johnson and&#38;nbsp;Joel Cocks.The anonymous collective Invisible Committee once suggested that in times of multiple breakages, we need mutable forms, not affixed institutions. Life, they say, whether biological, singular, or collective, is a continual creation and interaction of forms: ‘A habit is a form. A thought is a form. A friendship is a form.’ Artist Ofri Cnaani and curator Vaida Stepanovaitė invited artists and collectives to rethink social and institutional spaces as inherently choreographic acts and to weave potential openings in their operations. Together, they will respond with short interventions using text, voice, image, and movement. A series of offerings will explore the form’s momentum and its inseparability from other configurations through methods of doing rather than knowing and poke at the calcified imaginaries and structures of knowledge.

The Space between Us: somatic knowledge and new techno-spatial scopes&#38;nbsp;

Two-weeks summer course at&#38;nbsp;Salzburg Summer Academy
_______________________________________________________________August 8th, 2024 at&#38;nbsp;Generali Collection / Museum der Moderne

As part of&#38;nbsp;Salzburg Summer Academy‘s Public Program, curated by Maayan Sheleff
Listen to it like you haven’t been born yet, tell it as you are still in the surrogate womb.

How deeply are we attuned to the technological systems we place ourselves in, and we place in ourselves? The program will focus on the role of platform capitalism in shaping and orienting user bodies, gender and sexuality. Combining performance, participatory experience and live podcast, the evening will bring together artists Agnė Jokšė and Ofri Cnaani, and researchers-creators Carmen Lael Hines and Morgane Billuart. Agnė Jokšė works with words. They are currently creating a non-binary Lithuanian language and use performance to explore queerness and language. Jokšė will present Lezbynai (2020), an erotic story about lesbian love in the background of the Lazdynai district where the artist grew up. Artist Ofri Cnaani will lead the audience in Stories from the Surrogate Womb, an exploration of the Generali collection / Museum der Moderne(?? Location dependent) that focuses on the idea of somatic listening. The performance is a personal wandering through call-and-response prompts and allows participants to re-experience familiar or unfamiliar sites in the collection through the notion of choreographic listening. 
Carmen Lael Hines and Morgane Billuart's recent research and writings focus on the fast-growing industry of Femtech, a term which describes the software, products and digital services that focus on female health. In their performative lecture and live podcast recording, Girlemployee, Billuart and Hines use podcasts as a performative medium for presenting research and discussing the history of critiquing platforms via platforms. Together with the audience, they ask when the podcast becomes a space for articulating alternative knowledge-making structures. How do podcasts appeal to the temporalities of post-capitalist time-keeping – voices that feed you information as you move from one location to the other?

Minor Inscriptions , 2025, 15 min 16 secMinor Inscriptions investigates the invisible borders imposed by martial law in Jaffa between 1948 and 1950. Using archival documents, maps, testimonies, and video fragments, the work traces boundaries that have vanished physically yet remain embedded in current spatial, technological, and political infrastructures, actively shaping the present. The work focuses on “bureaucratic violence”: a system of control based on the administrative regulation of movement and access, where every passage through the city requires permits. How can violence operate through administrative practices like numbered lists and statistical databases? 

The work takes place on a desk and filmed from above – the overhead view often associated with a position of authority. Documents, maps, physical objects and mobile screens are arranged across the desk. A multilayered editing of photos, videos, and images creates a dynamic and timeless map of Jaffa/Yafa, where freedom of movement is managed capriciously and the physical and symbolical borders remain palpable, even if they are invisible. The permits, checkpoints, and detainments did not go anywhere, they only took on a different shape.
Although martial law officially ended, its logic persists, continuing to structure contemporary urban life.

Hand to Mouth, a photo series, 2025 and&#38;nbsp;Surviving Images, a video based on recorded lecture-perfromance, 2025
As part of&#38;nbsp;Unfolding Desire at Trieste ContemporaneaA project by AiR Trieste in partnership with La Collina Social Cooperative,Trieste Contemporanea, and Griffin Art ProjectsCurators: Francesca Lazzarini and Elham Puriya MehrArtists: Ofri Cnaani and Evann SiebensIn collaboration with: Escuchame and Collettivo Marte
Unfolding Desire is a research project that stems from the encounter between artistic practices, archive theory, memory, and shared experiences to imagine possible futures in a time marked by the re-emergence of authoritarian impulses and normalising logics. 
Ofri Cnaani’s work engages with the lived residues of deinstitutionalization to rethink archival, classificatory, and digitization practices. Informed by San Giovanni’s relational model of care, where healing arises through proximity rather than confinement, her project approaches the CDD as a living, affective field rather than a static collection of materials. Through the involvement of Escuchame and Marte collective participants in a workshop held by the artist, documents and images become tools to think with, hold with, and act with. While the CDD has always been subject to the instability of political and economic agendas, the partial digitization envisioned by Cnaani resists stabilizing an institutional past. Instead, it proposes a method grounded in adjacency, memory, collaboration and embodied presence. Rejecting generic metadata systems that flatten context, the workshop and the resulting artworks treat digitization not as neutral transfer but as a socially embedded act: shaped by decisions about what is preserved, by whom, and for whom. Inspired by Aby Warburg’s “law of the good neighbour,” which arranged books by proximity of thought, not taxonomy, Cnaani extends this principle to images, placing them in relation, where meaning emerges in between and in with-ness. She does this in the photographic series Hand to Mouth (2025), where her hands engage both with those of the workshop participants at San Giovanni and with the gestures from Bruno Munari’s book Speak Italian!, highlighting the affectiveness of hapticality as an alternative form of engagement. She continues this approach in the video Surviving Images, where materials selected by participants are mobilised to construct a new narrative. Through collectively being and engaging with images, her work resists extractive, colonial logics of classification, now echoed in AI systems, and instead frames digitization as a performative, situated act of care, shaped by collective negotiation and grounded in micro-struggles for access and specificity. 
A segemnt from Surviving Images
video that is based on a lecture-perfromance:
We met again on May 14th, 3PM. I was still on the screen. Guillermo, Marina, Diego, Renato, Pavel, Mad Max, Cecilia, Samuel, Emidio, Roberto, Eduardo, Diana and Lydia. Also, Francesca, Michaela , Elham, and Evann. Nothing ever prepared us to speak about proximity from far away, but we were making proximity from far away. 

We spoke about how images speak to one another, how do they answer back? And about Aby Warburg’s intervals, the spaces between images that have, he proposed, their own Iconology. They are units of meaning, not a gap or a void, but a pause. A much-needed pause that makes room for a conversation. I asked you to choose images from last time, place them and connect them. Making the intervals work, making them speak with their hands, singing the song of the ones who are supposed to be silent. And you were making the intervals work.&#38;nbsp; You did, and I learned that from you. 

That art is spreading everywhere

That art will save us

That the question is the answer. And the answer is in the question

That no one wants a professional treatment, but equal rights.

That your body belongs to you

That freedom heals

That the body heals in its freedom

That colours and crayons are acts of resistance

That Art is an act of residence and an opportunity for communication

That Art&#38;nbsp; will save us

And that is spreading everywhere

That Marina is a work of art herself

That today you feel like the main character of your life

That, unless a cure is without money, you are not free

That horses have eyes on their side (but I knew this one already)

That we should always pay attention to the predators.

That Insanity is a paradox

That the centre of documentation is an actual resistance

That the institutions would like them to be erased

That you brought freedom to the inmates in Leros, only speaking with your hands

That 100 patients in Leros had fled beyond the walls. That intervals of freedom are in the invention of escape

Thats hands is the language when no language is found

That love is the message.

Unfolding Desire Read full curatorial text by&#38;nbsp;Francesca Lazzarini and Elham Puriya Mehr
In an era marked by the troubling resurgence of populist and authoritarian tendencies worldwide, Unfolding Desire brings together artists, curators and practitioners from different experiences and conditions to delve into the affective and sensorial territories of the archive where new forms of resistance can be imagined and set in motion. Mobilizing the concept of desire for the future, the project – organized by Air Trieste in partnership with Trieste Contemporanea, the social cooperative La Collina, and Griffin Art Projects – unfolds through collaborations with the Documentation Center (CDD) Oltre il Giardino of San Giovanni ex-psychiatric hospital, the Marte collective, and the programme Escuchame by Radio Fragola, engaging with the radical notion of lunatic desire as a portal for envisioning alternative futures. It asks: What creative methods can we develop to explore, practice, and sustain 'desire' and transfer its potentialities to the future? Through a constellation of workshops, residencies, video projects, events, and an exhibition, Unfolding Desire aims to develop new critical and somatic tools for imagining and practicing care, cultivating new terrains for collective futures through research into the materials of the CDD.

Addressing the global resurgence of fascism, Brazilian psychoanalyst and scholar Suely Rolnik identifies desire as the central site of struggle within the neoliberal and financialized phase of capitalism. In this context, Rolnik describes the "coup," the seizure of power by neoliberal and neoconservative alliances, as a mechanism that captures and immobilizes desire, preventing it from sustaining its insurgent, world-making force. Rather than fueling creative transformation, under this regime, desire is trapped, neutralized, and instrumentalized to reinforce domination and capitalist accumulation. Resisting this capture requires activating the unconscious through the action of micropolitics, to make it a space of potentiality, where lunatic or unruly desires can imagine and enact new futures. It is in this terrain that collective practices of care, resistance, and invention must take root.

This aim has encouraged us to initiate our collective resistance by delving into the material collected by Oltre il Giardino about the experience and history of the ex-psychiatric hospital of San Giovanni Park, which offers a unique vantage point for examining the radical transformation of psychiatric care in the 1970s. Under the leadership of Franco Basaglia, this revolution dismantled the oppressive structures of institutionalization, proposing instead that care must be woven into the very fabric of society. For Basaglia, healing was inseparable from emancipation: transforming practices of care meant transforming society itself. His work culminated in the abolition of coercive treatments such as shock therapy and physical restraints, leading to Italy’s landmark Law 180 in 1978. It was later carried forward by figures such as Franco Rotelli, turning Trieste into an example of a collective mental health system grounded in ethical responsibility and inclusivity, what Pantxo Ramas refers to as an ecology of care. In this ecology, art has always played a relevant role, meeting with the struggles for rights to overcome stigmas and prejudices and to open new cultural, educational, and productive horizons. This setup allowed patients and workers to re-imagine and express their dreams for a new future through artistic means. It encouraged experimentation, invention and imagination and enabled social change, transformation, and becoming: in a word, unfolding.

In The Fold, Laura U. Marks writes, “as Gilles Deleuze, often with Félix Guattari, emphasized again and again…the relevant category is not Being—what exists—but Becoming—what changes.” In resonance with this view, we understand unfolding as a dynamic process that draws the perception of our senses towards the seemingly nonexistent as it rolls into being. In the project, it is through unfolding that artistic practices bridge archival images, their anecdotes, and latent stories with the body, generating profound affective responses, shock, joy, sorrow, or subtle resonances that function as embodied forms of knowledge. As Marks notes: “You can reach into the most compressed thing – a rock, an emoji, a preserved lock of hair, a frame of film, a name on a black Zoom screen –&#38;nbsp; to unfold its story. From world to medium to us, unfolding expands and contracts the connective tissue like an accordion”, enabling a dance with ghostly traces and the invisible to take form.

For Unfolding Desire, the archive is not merely a structure of memory but a site of unfolding; it is a projection of desire, not only for the past but for a future anchored in what can be remembered, recovered, and reactivated. This is an attempt to script the future, to extend life into what is yet to come. Still, desire remains incomplete, marked by loss, distortion, and omission. The unfolding desire of the archive insists that the most radical futures are those that resist full capture, that remain elusive and emergent. We whisper of another kind of future, not yet legible, but already present in bodies, atmospheres, and affects, a horizon vibrating with the possibilities of what might still come.

Through diverse practices, visual, performative, sonic, and relational, the artists involved in the project trace how desire can be wrested from capture, re-attuned to the forces of life rather than domination. They invite us into spaces where new subjectivities may emerge, where the unconscious is not merely a terrain of regulation, but of emancipation. In doing so, they insist that the struggle for a livable future must begin here, in the micropolitical folds where desire is still unfolding.

Ofri Cnaani’s work engages with the lived residues of deinstitutionalization to rethink archival, classificatory, and digitization practices. Informed by San Giovanni’s relational model of care, where healing arises through proximity rather than confinement, her project approaches the CDD as a living, affective field rather than a static collection of materials. Through the involvement of Escuchame and Marte collective participants in a workshop held by the artist, documents and images become tools to think with, hold with, and act with. While the CDD has always been subject to the instability of political and economic agendas, the partial digitization envisioned by Cnaani resists stabilizing an institutional past. Instead, it proposes a method grounded in adjacency, memory, collaboration and embodied presence. Rejecting generic metadata systems that flatten context, the workshop and the resulting artworks treat digitization not as neutral transfer but as a socially embedded act: shaped by decisions about what is preserved, by whom, and for whom. Inspired by Aby Warburg’s “law of the good neighbour,” which arranged books by proximity of thought, not taxonomy, Cnaani extends this principle to images, placing them in relation, where meaning emerges in between and in with-ness. She does this in the photographic series Hand to Mouth (2025), where her hands engage both with those of the workshop participants at San Giovanni and with the gestures from Bruno Munari’s book Speak Italian!, highlighting the affectiveness of hapticality as an alternative form of engagement. She continues this approach in the video Surviving Images, where materials selected by participants are mobilised to construct a new narrative. Through collectively being and engaging with images, her work resists extractive, colonial logics of classification, now echoed in AI systems, and instead frames digitization as a performative, situated act of care, shaped by collective negotiation and grounded in micro-struggles for access and specificity. These new works dialogue with a previous series by the artist, Statistical Bodies (2020-2023), that explores questions of organic-electronic care, body datafication, and the incomputable. By paying attention to the impulse of capital as it intimately circulates the body, the works identify moments that hold new nexus of data, extraction and the corporeal, but also carry the potential of friction, or rupture of the seamless flow of those transactions. 

Like Cnaani’s, Evann Siebens’ works emerge from a close engagement with the images of Oltre il Giardino and the people who animate San Giovanni Park on a daily basis. The artist’s body plays a central role; it is through an embodiment of the CDD materials that she creates a suspended space of encounter, where knowledge, desire and new possibilities can emerge. The series Embodying the Unarchivable (2025) resonates with the idea of that which reveals: embodiments of fears, fantasies, and not yet formulated aspirations—always excessive and irreducible. The result of this process is a series of layered images incorporating performative gestures and hybrid figures that compress multiple temporalities into singular frames—bodies in flux, saturated with movement and transformation—to expose the materials to deeper emotional and affective engagement. Siebens’ research mobilizes the notion of the uncanny, read as a battleground of ghostly forces constantly made and unmade. Through her works, the artist evokes it, transforming its monstrous connotations from a site of stigma into a liminal presence that disrupts order and reawakens forbidden desires. 

Even in the creative process of Performing the Unpredictable (2025), the artist's body offers itself as a convergence for multiple forces. The work includes a live performance—realized in collaboration with sound artist Samuel Codarin and actor Pavel Berdon—and a video piece. Recorded at San Giovanni Park during the residency in Trieste, the video features Berdon, Codarin, Diego and Renzo Porporati, Maximillian Rosani, Guillermo Giampietro, and many other participants from Escuchame. It reflects Sieben’s conception of the camera as an extension of her own limbs. The sense of interaction, complicity, and relationality that emerges within and thanks to the moving images is further intensified in the live performance, where the video is projected onto the artist and Berdon’s bodies, becoming a conduit, just as the live sound performed by Codarin acts as a connective tissue. The improvisational interplay between bodies, images, voices, and sound conjures a charged moment of anticipation, presaging the repressed to resurface and the unexpected to come.&#38;nbsp; 

With its complex structure, composed of different events and fleeting moments of collective exchange, Unfolding Desire maps its processual and affective terrain. More than a project, it becomes a living practice that reclaims the imaginative force of desire through shared gestures, resonant bodies, and relational encounters. At its core lies a commitment to collective recognition and transformative care, where madness is embraced not as a deficit but as a generative force. By centring embodied participation and affective attunement, Unfolding Desire opens a space for imagining otherwise—a space where alternative futures can be felt before they are fully formed, and where new forms of life may quietly take root in the folds of togetherness.
