Blood and Tattoos in the Work of Uri Katzenstein | By Yasmine Bergner
“These people who agreed to tattoo my work on themselves are a kind of erotic messengers for me,” Katzenstein told me a few years ago, and I just observed his arms, tattooed with the enigmatic symbols he had created. In his unique way, he created a hidden grid of his own self, within those around […]

Why It’s Critical for Women to Heal the Wound of Motherhood | By Bethany Webster | Translated by Yasmin Bergner

Originally published in “Hayim Aherim” (Other Life) Magazine In human beings, there are innate “super-patterns” of thought and emotion are embedded, which Carl Gustav Jung termed “psychic archetypes.” These archetypes are part of the human hardware, and their traces can be found as products in all fields of human creation and activity.

The Field Child | Interview with Nassim Haramein #2 | Interviewer: Yasmine Bergner
In the first part of the article, we talked about a new technology being developed in the Ramin lab. Last year, the first version of the ARK resonance technology from the Ramin lab was released: lab-grown crystals that can be worn on the body.

The Field Child | Interview with Nassim Haramein #1 | Interviewer: Yasmine Bergner
“Modern science’s refusal to search for a higher order is slowing down the development of humanity and severely damaging the ecosystems on which we depend to survive and thrive. The implications and applications of the connected worldview provide us with a clear vision of our capabilities to evolve. Humanity is moving in this direction, but we must reach our destination in time and advanced technology must emerge as soon as possible.”

Ancestors | Group Exhibition | Binyamin Gallery Tel Aviv | Curator: Yasmine Bergner
The exhibition focuses on the ancestral aspect of the tattoo. Tribal cultures are structured in concentric circles, much like the rings of a tree. The individual is situated at the center, enveloped by an outer circle surrounding them: the collective tribal system. This social circle is wrapped in yet another outer circle: the socio-religious system, which expresses the tribe’s cosmogonic and mythological worldview.
The tribal totem is an archetypal visual representation of the culture—the focus and heart of the tribe—serving as a collective ancestral tool for personal and social empowerment. It attracts cellular renewal, infinite creation, and a connection between the past and the future. The totem is a dual representation: the founding male/female pair, whose pairing creates culture.
The mythical graphic themes that adorn the tribal tattoo are patterns drawn from the totemic language (which is the universal grammar—the symbols and archetypes of the culture).
In this context, a tattoo is a kind of “personal totem.” A talisman of memory and an object of empowerment. In the tribal world, a tattoo is part of a shamanic rite of passage and initiation, throughout the stages of life.
Tattoos | The Human Body as a Work of Art | Eretz Israel Museum | Curator: Yasmine Bergner
Since the dawn of history, the tattooed body has been a means of glorification and personal and collective definition of man. The art of tattooing has its origins in traditions of shamanic rites of passage and initiation in indigenous cultures; every tattoo work around the world contains within it pieces of culture and history and also embodies personal, social, ecological and spiritual values.
Histories | Sarah Erman Gallery | Group exhibition with Yasmine Bergner
We hold memories in our bodies, we hold longing and heartache. We hold joy, moments of heavenly peace. If we want to have access to them, if we want to move into them and through them, we must go into our bodies… Our bodies tell stories.
Ov | Meshuna Gallery Tel Aviv | Group exhibition with Yasmine Bergner
We must listen, respond, and acknowledge the importance and vitality of the constant presence of myth. The human cultural infrastructure is constantly changing, it is a flexible space based on our memories and our individual and collective consciousness.
