COW PARK
When I heard about the struggle of the Armenian community in Jerusalem over the "Cow Garden," I got into my red car and started filming - from behind, in reverse. In the past, cows grazed in the Cow Garden and refugees pitched their tents there. Today, while this piece of land serves as a parking lot, a real estate dispute revolves around it. The reverse camera offers a comforting distortion: whoever and whatever enters this rear field of vision curves: the parking lot markings, the walls of the Old City of Jeruselam, an old photograph, and a host of figures: a retired photographer, a parking lot guard, a computer technician, political activists, refugees, an audience.
​
COW PARK is due to premiere as a video-based performance, as part of Tmuna Theatre Festival, Tel Aviv.
