Documentation of an extended live performance Documentation of an 8 hour drawing performance. at the studio of the Israeli sculptor, Natan Rapoport, once renown for his monumental nationalist and holocaust memorial works. With big sticks of charcoal from local bonfires, I create a mural, on the outside studio wall, using elements from the artist’s repertoire. After completing the virtuoso- style drawing, I start to destroy it, using erasers, sandpaper, smearing it with berries from the yard, leaving only a pale layer of the expressive drawing. The process mirrors both the career of the sculptor- whose grandiose portrayals of a collective ideal have long ago fallen out of favor, as well as the temporality of the collective historical memory.
