Folklore
Dauer: 10 Minuten



In ihrer Definition reflektiert die Folklore den Volkstanz durch körperlichen Ausdruck und Gesten des alltäglichen Lebens. In Israel ist der Anblick von Sicherheitspersonal bei der Untersuchung von Staatsbürgern an Kontrollpunkten eine Routineaffaire geworden. Eine unbekannte Hand in privaten Taschen, das Durchscannen intimer Körperteile mit Metalldetektoren. Bürgern wird befohlen ihre Kleidung auszuziehen. Ich benutze diese Elemente, um derartige körperliche Untersuchungen in eine neue aesthetische Sprache zu transformieren. Erzeugt wird ein neuer Volkstanz. eine neue Variante der Israelischen Folklore. In meine Arbeit zeige ich meinen Ausweiss, meine Notizen, mein Geld, meinen Führerschein, meine Frau, meinen Sohn, meine Tochter. Nach dieser Enthüllung werden sie zu unserem Ausweiss, unserem Geld, unserer Frau, unserem Sohn und unserer Tochter.

A performance requesting to open the taboo of the nuclear family institution - based on a green drawing I did as a child to unsuccessfully catch my father’s attention. Similarly to my previous pieces, I want the personal to arouse the interest of the collective. As an artist, I do let go and share a personal family secret by exposing my own personal family unit: I am the son of my father and the father of my son.
