Naama Haneman’s interaction with objects, particularly materials, comes from a different perspective. Haneman, a silversmith and metal artist, views her creative materials, especially metal, as an opportunity for a symmetric dialogue. For her, metal is like a living body, a subject. And as such, working with metal requires observing and listening to the metal's needs.\r\n\r\nIn her new work I hear you breathing, she explores the philosophical term Object-Oriented Ontology, which deals with the idea of objects having their own realities and the ability to interact with each other. This perspective shifts the focus away from just humans and recognizes the connections between everything in the world. Using this way of thinking, she emphasises the idea of objects that stand on their own, without belonging to people. Inspired by the idea that an object has its own life, will, and behaviours, Haneman gives the power of creation to her vessels. By developing a 3D simulation program, she allows her vessels the freedom to act and move on a separate platform. Her vessels encounter each other in unlimited ways, reacting to each other by changing their shapes during these interactions. The work represents one of those situations resulting from the program. Haneman returned to her workshop and created it from sterling silver using traditional techniques, by listening and responding to the metal’s demands.\r\n","physicalDescription":"Sterling silver sculptures, plated.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Naama Haneman","id":"AUTH403607"},"association":{"text":"designed and made","id":"x28674"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"sterling silver","id":"AAT10977"},{"text":"plated","id":"x38860"}],"techniques":[{"text":"raising","id":"AAT237068"},{"text":"soldering","id":"AAT53949"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Sterling silver, plated","categories":[{"text":"Silver","id":"THES251836"},{"text":"Sculpture","id":"THES48896"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2024NX6325","2024NX6324","2024NX6323","2024NX6322","2024NX6321"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"68","id":"THES49730"},"free":"","case":"5","shelf":"2","box":""},{"current":{"text":"68","id":"THES49730"},"free":"","case":"5","shelf":"2","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Sculpture","id":"AAT47090"}],[{"text":"sculpture","id":"AAT47090"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"designed and made","id":"x39722"},"note":""},{"place":{"text":"Tel Aviv","id":"x39980"},"association":{"text":"designed and made","id":"x39722"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"2024","earliest":"2024-01-01","latest":"2024-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Lent by The Penelope and Oliver Makower 1974 Charitable Trust","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"14","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"Part 1","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"11.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"Part 1","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"11.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"Part 1","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"16.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"Part 2","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"12","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"Part 2","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"12","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"Part 2","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"The sculptures were commissioned by the V&A and P&O Makower Trust in January 2023 following an open competition.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"I hear your breathing, sterling silver sculptures, Naama Haneman, 2024.","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"I hear you breathing\r\nSterling silver, plated\r\nNaama Haneman\r\nTel Aviv and London, 2024\r\n\r\nThe metalsmith Naama Haneman explores how the human body and objects interact with each other.
