Oh Jerusalem

4 minutes loop. Black & white silent. Mini dv

Oh Jerusalem, a single screen projection, is a looped Black & White silent video. The video feature the artist dressed- up both as an Arab man and an orthodox Jewish man. The two characters are bound in an endless repetition of acts and the power of inertia. As the rhythm of the acts accelerates, the characters merge into one, joined in their fixation on a drawing of Jerusalem. The video is reminiscent of Keaston and Chaplin in style and as such refer to the history of film and representation, whilst at the same time provokes the history of the conflict.
