When Broken Guitars Whisper and Felt Sings in Berlin’s Echoing Halls
A smashed electric guitar usually signals the end of a song, but in Naama Tsabar’s hands, it’s just the beginning. Her sculptures, born from the dramatic act of breaking instruments in solitude, are not mere remnants—they’re interactive sound platforms, waiting for museum visitors and local women musicians to coax out new melodies. Each piece is shaped by a collision of intent, gravity, and chance, transforming destruction into sensory possibility.
Tsabar’s fascination with material continues in her felt works, where soft slabs are cut, strung, and amplified, turning silence into resonance. Felt, a material known for muffling sound, becomes unexpectedly vocal, its curves inspired by both geometry and the human body. These works invite touch and collaboration, often activated by women performers, blurring the lines between artist, audience, and artwork.
In Tsabar’s world, silence and sound, softness and strength, destruction and creation all share the stage—proof that art’s true power often lies in what’s left unsaid, or unstrummed, until someone dares to play.
