A VIDEO PROJECTION THAT WAS FILMED IN A SITE CALLED ”RAMID”. THE FILM DOCUMENTS ACTUAL EVENTS THAT TAKE PLACE  AT THE SITE - TRUCKS ARRIVING, LOADING GRAIN AND DEPARTING, PIGEONS FEEDING ON THE REMAINS OF THE GRAIN. THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE SITE IS REMINICENT OF CLASSICAL BUILDINGS, WITH GIANT PILLARS, THE NATURAL LIGHT SHINING DOWN FROM ABOVE CREATING A THEATRICAL AND UNNATURAL EFFECT ON THE COMINGS AND GOINGS.

 

INTO THIS REALITY, I INSERTED STAGED EVENTS ON CHARACTERS WANDERING WITHIN THE SPACE OF THE SITE, APPEARING TO FOLLOW A SET OF UNKNOWN ORDERS, RULES AND PROCEDURES.

 

IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT “RAMID“ IS AN OPEN AIRED MUNICIPAL SITE, THE ATMOSPHERE IN THE VIDEO IS CLOSED AND OPPRESSIVE. THE FOOTAGE IS EDITED TO CONVEY A FEELING OF URGENCY AND IMPENDING DISASTER. ”RAMID” WAS INFLUENCED BY SAMUEL BECKETT’S SHORT STORY ”THE LOST ONES”.

 

”RAMID” WAS SCREENED AT THE ISRAEL PHILARMONIC’S OPENING GALA, AND AT THE “KIBBUTZ GALLERY” 2015, TEL AVIV.
