LAND

2013

Zohar Kawaharada & Yuval Yairi, LAND, 2013
LAND presents a filmed series of acts performed over several months and presented as non-linear fragments. Two opposing forces are in confrontation: a human figure and the letters of a word. The figure confronts the word and the power of its connotations by attempting to deconstruct it, to destroy it but also to come to terms with it. Holding a pole and the four letters of the word LAND, the figure undergoes transformations in its differing relationship to the actual place - the enclosed space, and to the word itself. There are "ceremonies" and "rituals" which allude to heroic monuments and local or universal icons. Suggested here, is an examination of the idea of historical, religious or moral rights to a place, rights which are usually enforced by violence - occupation, illegal settlement, colonialization, deportation, exile - matters of choice or force.
