Screening of one video
4’06’’
The artist reproduced the patterns of the garment the ones wear for praying (the tallit or prayer shawl for religious Jews) and the others wear as a sign of support to the Palestinian people (the keffiyeh, the traditional headdress of Arabs peasants and Bedouins).
In this performance, she paints alternately the symbol of one of the garments onto the other so that both garments are covered to the point of being indistinguishable.
By their choice of clothing, each person reveals a part of his religious identity or political stance that the artist questions as referring to their fear of object loss, of separation.
