A newspaper picture of a sale in a mall in Philadelphia, 2003, captures the director’s eye. A woman is crushed to death by the mob while trying to purchase a DVD player for her son. 

In Odds and Ends, Israel’s situation is reflected through the universal ritual of shopping. Partly shot from a bird’s-eye view, we see around fifty customers, a moving knot of people, clustered around goods on sale at a shopping mall in Tel Aviv. A menacing wall of sound mixing Muzak with a jumble of voices only serves to intensify the desire for consumer goods. In this case, the physical bodies fight for one purpose only: to snatch up a bargain, an ambition that goes beyond cultural, religious, class, or gender categories.

Also found on the collection of the Netherlands Media Art Institute.
