Eva Lanska

As part of ITSLIQUID Group’s Venice Art Fair, taking place for September 8/9 – 30, 2022 at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello and Palazzo Bembo, there will be a special focus on short art films. This year, the popular event, already in its 15^th year, will feature the short film by London-based, Israeli female visual artist Eva Lanska . A special opening reception was held on September 9 from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. at Palazzo Bembo. In the multimedia installation in which several works will also be presented during the fair, Lanska employs gesture and symbolism to explore the intense proximity between collaboration and competition. For a hypnotic minute she offers a sensitive portrayal of the tenderness and tension that can often be held woman to woman. “The betrayal one makes for your career will live in the heart forever", says the artist. 

Lanska’s first short, Okay, Mum, about domestic violence, won Best Picture at Los Angeles Film Festival and was selected for Short Film Corner at Cannes 2017. Centering around the complex issues facing women internationally, her work finds different ways of intertwining this core priority with related themes such as interfaith marriage in the short film Little French Fish, 2020, and transcending stereotypes in the documentary The Abraham Accords Change History: Women in the Middle East, 2021.
