In her work, Ella Littwitz explores the historical, geopolitical, and social connections between territories. For the exhibition Ontology of the Void, she turns her attention to the barren landscape surrounding the Dead Sea and Mount Sodom, continuing her journey along the Great Rift Valley. The exhibition references transformational processes that take place at both the micro and macro levels. Littwitz thus draws parallels between the invisible cellular activities within our bodies and the monumental geological shifts that have been unfolding over millennia—forces often ignored, yet culminating in dramatic changes. The works revolve around themes of destruction and disappearance. Littwitz’s deep interest in the invisible, that which lies beneath the surface, emerges throughout the exhibition, whether it be the unreachable depths of the Dead Sea, the 80-metre descent inside Mount Sodom or the radiation that is invisible to the human eye. By focusing on geographical and natural elements, Littwitz provides a structured way to navigate the personal, intertwining the vastness of the Earth’s transformations with the processes of human life.
