Bio
Eilit Marom is a visual artist and facilitator based in the Netherlands whose transdisciplinary practice reclaims overlooked freedoms through choreographic tasks and participatory encounters. Evolving from a background in dance at ArtEZ, her work shifts between the gallery, the theater, and site-specific community contexts. Marom moves embodiment across domains, integrating textiles, voice, and performance to foreground bodily knowledge as both material and method. Her work takes a radical approach to collaboration, treating participants not as subjects, but as companions whose agency and presence expand the practice. Her work has been presented at venues including Het Nationale Theater, Helmhaus Museum, and Unfair Amsterdam.
I create task-based frameworks where the pressure to "perform" disappears, allowing for a shared negotiation of trust. By focusing on simple, legible actions, the boundary between the one doing and the one witnessing dissolves; the task becomes a common ground of relational discovery. These acts serve as vessels for human complexity: leaning into one another to navigate interdependence, or the rhythmic repetition of baking to drag generational ghosts into the room.
In the physical act of releasing a grip, I find a quiet, aching mirror of a farewell. The act of catching bouncy green balls becomes a physical inhabitation of material reuse, and collective singing within a red landscape serves as an exercise in exposing vulnerability, stripping away the pressure of performance. Recently, I expanded to handwrite embroidery on domestic textiles and creation of audio guides, where objects and sound function as carriers of embodied inscriptions. These are deliberate acts; quiet rebellions that transform the sterile museum or theater into a site of inhabited experience. It is an invitation to inhabit the unforbidden, those overlooked freedoms of touching, listening, and being seen; until the friction between people becomes a form of harmony.
