Bliss
In 2001, Microsoft launched its new operating system, Windows XP. The default wallpaper of the operating system became one of the quintessential images of the 2010s. The idyllic green hills and blue sky of California’s Sonoma Valley, where photographer Charles O’Rear took the original photo, lure users to step into the digital realm, enter a […]

Windows
“Windows” explores processes of change and fixation. Life exposes us to various stimuli; some disappear, others gain a fleeting expression, and some linger and endure. By projecting a moving image onto analog photographic paper, the work examines the ways in which fleeting images gain a fixed form.
Sunflower Seeds
Nahmias’s audio visual show is a multi-participant collision between the performer and loudspeaker membranes, cello, theremin, and sunflower seeds. In a series of remote actions of tossing sunflower seeds at the membranes, and gesturing in front of the theremin antenna, Nahmias creates an ensemble that oscillates between different meters and between alertness and relaxation, placing […]
Traveling Frequency
Musician Daniel Slabosky roams the world with electrofolk road songs, combining a caustic and indefinable guitar with raw lyrics. In “Traveling Frequency,” Slabosky steps into the matrix of the notes that comprise his songs, weaving an abstract and dreamlike tapestry of frequencies. The show offers a meditative tribal listening experience consisting of vibration beating and […]
Sof Kol
A heart of blues beats through the digital layers. Noya Fox’s “Sof Kol” is a private and ritualistic journey that merges voice, sound, and text in a hypnotic and fragile syntax. Strange sounds and instruments converge into a distorted unison and a heavy beat. In Fox’s mouth, the Hebrew is abstract and broken down into […]
The Converter
Yaron Attar’s video work unfolds a conversation between a Christian worshipper and the artist, recorded with a hidden camera. The entire conversation is conducted as a whispered confession, during which the Christian explains the importance of confession and absolution. The conversation between the two is tentative and blends with the sounds of prayer hymns, while […]
THE PASSING OF TIME
Nostalgic desertscapes throb and disappear, and a new desert horizon emerges in their place, different yet similar. Tamar Hirschfeld’s video work is a “Fata Morgana”: a mirage conjured by the journey’s hallucinations. Time and again, the screen burns as the fire gradually leads the viewer from the two-dimensionality of the journal paper to the boundless […]
Dead Horsman
An operatic piece starring a headless horseman and a horse. Musician and artist Zohar Shafir animates the two characters, engaged in an imaginary dialogue between life and death. Although the characters are treated as one entity, the show takes place simultaneously in two separate locations. One space is chaotic and theatrical, packed with sculptural objects […]
