Parade
Video, 3:30 minutes, 2001
Parade is a short video trilogy depicting one main image in three parts a group of anonymous women, walking through Tel Aviv passages and becoming part of them and other urban spaces. In the first scene the figures create a formal relationship with the surrounding architecture, but at second sight the formality deteriorates. The moving fragmented feminine image and its becoming part of a linear composition, replacing the architecture and creating a well-built structure is the main subject of this piece.
Parade was shot in video but draws from traditions of painting in general and abstract painting specifically. When the women near the camera they become fragmented stains of color but while the discrete images deform, a new composition is built.
The layers are superimposed one atop the other. Each layer contains different qualities of time and space, and thus my works explore the qualities of the time-based medium, and run the whole range between still images and moving pictures.
This is an example of my use of the video language and medium and the possibilities it presents in regards to the representation of the social within the formal and vice versa.
