In my
works I often reflect upon children's education and problems of youth
and women, which I believe are especially important in the process of
building a “civil society”.
I am
especially interested in cooperation with girls of my age. In 2001 with
Tzomak, Nara, and Nata we created the “Incest” rock band. The term
“insect” was very symbolic for us, because it expressed our opposition
to the culture.
By means
of musical performances and TV programs we exposed fairytale and
“child-poem” roles and scenarios imposed and “wrapped” upon us.
Phenomena which periodically end up in impasses, create depressions, and
eventually turn into encompassing “civic commotion” which we witness
today.
In
“Tomorrow at the Same Time” video-installation using similar yet
different characters I try to show the tautology with the “spectacle
society”. Continuously repeating images by their total artificiality
demand from the average consumer not to think about the truth.
The
heroine is as artificial as her own mask. The questions are: Are we
capable of getting out of fake and commercialized stereotypes? Will we
be able to live in a society where standardized models of competition
and achievement are not dominant?
Maybe
these issues are also stereotypes bulk-produced by the mass culture!
