Noa Mori Machover

Noa Mari Machovers’s work reckons with what is too big to hold. Their practice - spanning video, installation, cartography, and sculpture - operates at the edge between the earth (planetary, climatic forces) and the world (epistemic and economic structures that apprehend it: science, magic, capital, myth). They are drawn to systems that can be followed, broken apart, and reassembled differently, showing how we, too, might be remade.

Shaped by Japanese and Jewish diasporic inheritances, their work traces matter as it shapeshifts and passes through many hands: platinum moving through formal and informal channels, exposing unstable dynamics of extraction, ownership, and legitimacy; toxic rivers leaching volatile compounds alongside resurgent practices of ritual and healing; rice chewed and fermented with their mother in a practice resembling Kuchikamizake, transmitting inheritance across lapses and memory and geographic displacement.
