The movie began as part of the movie Beyond Guilt that was filmed in a Tel Aviv hotel and documented a meeting between the directors and men who answered an acquaintance advertisement that was published on an internet website. One of the men, referred to as ER-77, from the Alei Zahav settlement, arrived armed with a revolver. For the present exhibition, the directors traveled to his home. The movie takes place in two places at the same time – Tel Aviv and the Jewish settlement.
Also found on the Collection “On Blindness” curated by Dana Gilerman. The project “On Blindness” deals with Jewish settlements as seen from the perspective of the artists and curator who live in the center of the country and learn about what’s happening ’there’ mostly through the filter of the media. The first and second ’Intifada’ have given birth to many political works. Most, if not all of them, are about the political situation: the Palestinian connection, the ’other,’ or the occupation and the occupiers. Few, if any, relate to settlers and settlements. This has remained a blind spot on the art scene.
The work is also found on the compilation "Trespassing" curated by Eyal Danon for the Serial Cases project. The first stage of Serial Cases was presented throughout November 2005 – March 2006 as an exchange Video Screening Program in eight different cities. The expansion of the geographical boundaries of the network of the Middle East and South and Eastern Europe covering Turkey has the potential to reveal additional modes of information about the regions. Accordingly, parallel cases along with cultural inputs from these regions will be the basis for this screening program series.
