POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Issue 35: Our interview with Eldar Krainer @e.l.k.r “Technology Can Verify Us, Define Who We Are, Match Us With Our Soulmates, And Potentially Give Our Lives Purpose And Meaning. But, Honestly, It Often Feels Somewhat Detached From A Real Self Realisation.”
-——————————
Eldar Krainer is a London-based artist whose sculptural work blends industrial materials with emotional depth, creating objects that feel both technological and intimate. Often resembling digital interfaces, loading bars, frozen screens, or half-loaded pages. His pieces explore themes of desire, optimisation, and suspended expectation. Rather than celebrating the seamlessness of technology, Krainer highlights its glitches and emotional weight, questioning how we form identity and connection within systems that rarely fulfill their promises. Fluent in the language of branding and design, his work neither rejects nor fully embraces consumer culture, instead operating within its contradictions. In this interview, Krainer discusses the personal experiences that continue to shape his evolving practice.

״כמעכל את משקעי העולם הממשי אל שלושה מדורים שונים של פנים האמנות, נחלק חלל הלובי מהחוץ אל הפנים על־ידי שלושת האמנים המשתתפים בתערוכה, שהיא כמסע מאתגר ומפרה אל מעי האמנות. מופרדים ולא־מופרדים הם מפעפעים זה אל זה אל זו, והאוצרוּת ממירה את החלל למערכת אוטונומית של יצירה. שם התערוכה לקוח משירו של אבות ישורון “טוב שהעולם גדול ואני יכול ללכת”, ובטקסט המלווה אותה נכתב “משתקפות (בתערוכה) נוודות רעיונית, תלישות וזרות, על רקע משבר כלל־עולמי”.״
