Soundwork to accompany the exhibition
Idit Elia Nathan: Footnotes Playing Dead
at
Standpoint Gallery, London, 2015
The work composes atmospheric field recordings highlighting the exhibition’s intentions to consider personal and collective responsibilities in times of adversity and interminable conflict; and reflect on children’s games and theatrical demonstrations in the West Bank and Gaza, where children pretend to be dead.
Why am I silent, silent for too long,
about that which has obviously been practiced
in war games where we, the survivors,
are footnotes at best?
