Marina or, 2012
The exhibition Marina or has been developed for the Kunstverein Duisburg 4.5- 9.6.2012 , including an
installation, performance and publication. The thematic framework for this show is talks about language as an artistic medium. Different associations with the term Marina are sorted by relevance, detached from its usual use and transferred into a new context. 

The result is a presentation format (a publication) that combines different approaches and interests into a common narrative. The publication has been used as a connecting point -- between the audience and the performance, as well as between the concept and space.

Private property, goffer & co. 2010
Art project in collaboration with the residents, shapira community, Israel
 
The private property installation was constructed in cooperation with the local community, a protest against the gentrification of their neighborhoods. The private property was constructed and dismantled within three days nationalized in favour of the residents, consisting of Jews, Arabs, foreign workers, both legal and illegal.
 
The area consists of a dilapidated house, a private parking space and a small garden area that could  be used for the benefit of the residents. The residants could do with the private property whatever thay wish for.
 
The private area raises the question of belonging, who owns the space, who built it and who took it.

Art project in collaboration with the residents, shapira community, Israel 

The installation was constructed in cooperation with the local community; a protest against the gentrification of their neighborhoods. The work was constructed and dismantled within four hours, the structure remains and the dramatic events have already vanished. symbolizing the fragility and temporariness of the community.

Computer Game.
The computer game is built on old computer platforms modified by the artist.
The game deals with the meeting of the Middle East and West; of Israelis and Gentiles. 
It is a literal shattering of the artistic and monumental scafolding of Israeli culture


Time goes/stop by, 2008
Multimedia movie - The  work deals with the topic of reality and time. Built on multiple digital layers of sound and video taken during
different times, returning the water tower (which was used to supply water to the city and stood on top of a hill at the highest point in the city of Tel Aviv), disappeared out of sight due to high construction and time as a forgotten memorial and returned to life through the new digital reality  
Out of Time, 2008
Multimedia work
Suzanne Dellal Center, Israel, 9 x 12.5 m.
The work is a materialization on the exterior wall of Suzanne Dellal center in Tel Aviv.

A series of life-sized images of people are randomly chosen by the computer program and projected on the wall. The people appear to walk, jump and fly. It is a silent and subtle work without sound. The images are like a memory for an indeterminate existence, like soundless ghosts, detached from reality and being in their own world.
