Summer 2014
Group exhibition
Artists’ House
Tel Aviv

Each artist was accorded a space of 9 square meters.

Act 1
I placed an assembly of 10 buckets of water, 10 liters each.

Act 2
Very carefully I filled the buckets with water to their top, to their maximal capacity = 100 liters water.

Act 3
I bent a common reed (Phragmites australis) up to its breaking point.
I broke the reed in a number of places in order to write with it the word SCALE.

Act 4
I measured the parts of the common reed that constitute the word scale = 12.22 meters.

Act 5
I drew WAR RUG on a hanging sack.

Act 6
I embedded sea sand at the bottom of the sack.
The sand serves as a weight.

Act 7
I isolated the solidifying cancerous sandstones in the sand,
and drowned them in the bottom of the buckets.

The sand assembled on the Tel Aviv seashore. Driven by the powers of water and wind the sand historically wandered from the South Suez region, through Gaza.

During the exhibition the stones disintegrate in water.
The water evaporates, their level drops.
The cane is reflected in the water,
The buckets’ holds are detached and placed on the wall – creating a hilly landscape.
In a perspective view the components seem a coherent reality. Examined closely they are isolated like the measures of length and weight.
