Wall Piece is a site-specific projection installation occurring in the space between the artist’s studio and the wall of a building viewed from his window. The artist photographed the wall under different lighting conditions, compiled the photographs, and processed them digitally. The complex, layered images that were created are projected back onto the wall from the studio’s window.
The neglected wall, which stands completely dark during the night, is then exposed through the projection. Its central formative elements – the window frame, the remains of dripping white wall paint, the peeling plaster, the crumbling bricks, the plastic tubes – are also repeated in the projected images, creating a range of optical illusions. In a feedback loop, the wall resonates itself and becomes infinite, a prolific ground for artistic action and a new perspective, which reconfigures the familiar urban space.

Wall Piece was created in Artport Tel Aviv as part of a year-long residency program, and was first exhibited to the public as part of ‘Exit Strategies’ Public art festival in Tel Aviv.
