Her newest body of work, Tsabar’s Inversions are installed directly into the existing architecture of the viewing space. First shown in Tsabar's 2020 exhibition at Shulamit Nazarian, these works utilize the shallow space behind the gallery’s walls and assume an overlooked space as a site of importance or a platform for action. Fusing together elements from guitars, harps, banjos, and violins, Tsabar creates an inverted instrument that relies on the contortions and penetrations of participants’ bodies for its activation. This Inversion has a microphone built in that anyone can talk or sing into, becoming a sort of confessional box.
