In the service storage of Musrara’s editing room, the artist Aviv Souter imagines a black rabbit with one blonde ear held captive. Like a self-appointed scientist, a geeky teenager shut away in front of a screen, the rabbit gnaws vegetables with its large teeth, collects arbitrary information, observes reality through the internet, and tries not to reveal its identity and otherness. Data gets stuck in its teeth like greens; from it, the rabbit builds a burrow, a hiding place. From time to time it is forced out of its burrow, which falls apart and trails behind it, leaving furrows, grooves and impressions in the ground.
Aviv Souter is a multidisciplinary artist creating site-specific works through sculpture, performance, text and video. A graduate of the School of Visual Theatre (2025), her work addresses the intimate relationship with the virtual, the viewer’s existence as part of the space, and shifts in the balance between what is expected and what exists. Her works have been presented at Barbur Gallery (“sofacanfast”, 2023; “Vogue Bat Yam,” 2025), Parterre Gallery (“Angels of Sabotage,” 2024), and the Performance Conference (2025). A new work is scheduled to be presented as part of “Autumn Cult” 2026 at HaZira Performance Art Arena.
