About the Item

Taking its name from the seven-tablet Babylonian creation myth, Enūma Elish unfolds across sculpture, video, engraving, and performance — summoning ancient mythologies into contemporary space. Revah’s practice fuses Mesopotamian myth, Kabbalistic symbolism, and feminist ritual in a bold and spiritual language of gesture and material. Her work is a meditation on divine femininity — not as abstraction, but as lineage and presence. Across stone, skin, and screen, Enūma Elish invites viewers to explore ancient and modern archetypes of goddesses that are not distant, but embodied. The exhibition spans two floors: Ground Floor: Stone Manifest — a sculptural sanctuary featuring seven engraved “tablets,” merging Kabbalistic glyphs with Mesopotamian iconography. Revah’s carvings echo votive reliefs and minimalist sculpture — think Noguchi, Ana Mendieta, Agnes Martin — but rooted in personal cosmology and ritual. Symbols like the snake of Lilith, the spiral of rebirth, and the double triangle of giving/receiving become vessels for mythic feminine energy. Centerpieces include SHEFA, featuring a 15th-century found stone, and MANIFESTO, a raw wood engraving featuring a manifesto by the artist on womanhood. Upstairs: Goddesses of Now — a constellation of 22 short films, each showing a woman embodying a contemporary goddess archetype. Like moving tarot cards, the videos are stripped back, symbolic, and ritualistic. Suspended stones, nude figures, and Kabbalistic signs create a language of quiet power, recalling early video work by Joan Jonas or Mendieta’s earth-body actions. An accompanying Oracle Card set will be available in a limited edition of 50. — Jemma Elliott-Israelson
