This publication brings together Sharon Lockhart’s engagement with the work of Noa Eshkol through essays, installation views, film stills, archival materials, and reproductions of Eshkol’s wall carpets.

Rather than presenting these elements separately, the book places them in dialogue, allowing Noa Eshkol’s practice to emerge through image, document, notation, and material form. It reflects the breadth of Eshkol’s work, which extended across choreography, movement research, notation, and textile production.

A key point of reference is Eshkol’s movement research and the Eshkol-Wachman notation system, which she developed with Avraham Wachman as a way of recording movement. Seen in this light, the publication is not only a record of artworks and archival traces, but also a study of systems of observation, transcription, and translation. The inclusion of journals, notes, and notations from the Noa Eshkol Foundation underscores this dimension and situates the book between archive, interpretation, and artistic response.
