David Bügeleisen, restorer of Jerusalem’s Israel Museum, had to prohibit me from showing Wounded Territory in the main chamber without an airtight cover. Fungus and mould can harm pieces of art made from organic material (canvas, wood, etcetera). The location of fungus and other pests mentioned in this film is outside the Museum’s walls.
Growing on the computer mouse pads, there is a fungus that is dangerous not only for art, but also for people. As it turns out, the fungus, just like the museum, also needs virtually airtight environments to maintain vitality and aesthetic qualities.’
