Live action and a video screening are used to develop and launch a new, revolutionary product in an attempt to deal with the suicide bombing problem. The official spokesman, a grimy-toothed, bloody-eyed creature, provides the viewers with a frantic text on the subject and a large smile in the name of the crafty Jewish mind. Participants in the project include secret agents, scientists, forensic doctors, and Israel’s biggest dairy company.

Falling in Love Again
A story about total love, reaching the spilled intestines of the loved one – a dead fish. The work is fashioned after silent movies and dark comic books, via a sequence of fragmented, shattered images accompanied by a text. Boasting a low-budget, sketchy aesthetic, the segments provide a comical-yet-chilling examination of the limits of passion and violence-ridden theatrical-cinematic conventions.

Short, Quick, and Under Threat
A short story – a surrealistic fantasy on an Oedipal theme – outlines a series of actions, visual elements, and alternately slack and frenzied rhythms. Moving freely in the gradually lit hall, the audience served as a witness peeking on a consistent activity – one that preserves a tension between cold, clean, mechanical expressions and ones that are grimy and expressive. The body – a central instrument for these purposes – leaves behind a visual product, the cumulative remnants of a story, entirely “secreted” in 30 minutes.

Strawberry
In the commotion of the event, an audience gathers around a window through which the image of a giant strawberry giving birth to live worms and embryonic “blood strawberries” can be seen. Blood pumped from the strawberry gradually fills condoms inflated with dry ice – a sequence of frenzied procreative (or anti-procreative) activities, pulling together fantasy worlds and a bizarre chemistry lab.
