Landing Lights
Solo exhibition, 2024
Tel Aviv Artists House
Curator: Ori Drumer
Structured as a large-scale installation, the exhibition Landing Lights comprises sound works, treated photographs, sculptural objects, video, and animation. The installation revolves around the concept of anamnesis. These are intimate, personal, and poetic twilight zones of the psyche, dream and imagination materials integrated into the local collective memory (see the curator's notes below).
The works in the exhibition are based on sound and video segments presented as two bodies of work. The first body includes short segments of 8mm films shot by my father in the late 1950s and early 1960s, presented as flashes of childhood memories integrated with sculptural objects and images treated by re-editing through division, duplication, and displacement in space and time. The second body of work was filmed and recorded by me at eight localities in Israel, Greece, Poland, North Macedonia, Switzerland, and England over approximately two years – places related to my family history and current personal circumstances. These are interwoven with excerpts of a letter sent to my father during World War II (1941) while he was serving as a radio operator in the Royal British Air Force in Cairo. The letter's words are read and signalled in Morse code, pulsating throughout the exhibition's space.
