Latent Heat (2025) is a collaborative sound project by Dor Zlekha Levy and Aviad Zinemanas that brings new life to the sculptures in the garden of the Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art. Composed of five sound works, each piece interacts with one of the garden’s sculptures by renowned Israeli artists, creating a multi-sensory experience that blends touch, sight, and sound.
The artists approached this project by engaging in long walks through the garden, listening to the silent sculptures, and revealing the hidden sounds within and around them. Through research and dialogue with the living sculptors and the legacy of those no longer with us, they created an autonomous artistic experience that reveals the latent energy and secrets within the materials. Latent Heat invites visitors to experience the sculptures in a new way, transforming the space into a resonant, multisensory encounter.
