The ‘#Blind’ installation was made in Tel Aviv, August 2014, during the late stages of operation ‘Protective Edge’. The piece was shot in a single shot and is brought here as a video clip. At the center of a closed space sits a singer with his mouth shut appearing to almost be lip-less. He stares at the flickering images on the TV screen with his back turned to the view of his home land. The landscape footage was made of videos of musical heroes from the region combined with videos documenting the events of summer 2014. The piece deconstructs the documentary materials and uses them to describe a multi-layered, augmented and complex experience of reality. It is questionable whether or not the screams, alarms and bombings manage to penetrate the thick skinned singer whose main objective is – to sing.
