The Israeli Center for Digital Art is taking part in the fifteenth Biennale for Young Artists from Europe and the Mediterranean, in Thessaloniki, Greece. This marks the fourth time the Israeli Center for Digital Art has been invited by the organizers to participate in the event, with the previous biennale taking place in Macedonia. The Biennale in Thessaloniki features 140 artists from 25 countries from the fields of visual arts and design.
Participating artists:
Mich’ael Zupraner will exhibit the short documentary ’Snow Tapes’ that deals with a Palestinian family living in the Israeli-controlled sector of Hebron, West Bank. A scene within a scene, the video is a communal viewing of two home movies depicting violent clashes with neighbouring Jewish settlers, taped during a rare snowy weekend.
Simha Talalaevsky will exhibit the work ’Tel Aviv deLita’, a video that deals with the notion of anxiety without ever using the term. Simha, the protagonist, is terrified of Iran’s nuclear program as a threat of destruction of Israel. Looking for refuge he heads to Lithuania where he confronts his Israeli nationality and Jewish heritage.
