Exhibition installation at Hayadit Theatre - 2007

The All Mighty, garlic (for luck) and Time
"The public is requested to kindly change their luck"
The installation deals with some aspects of personal/global freedom

The outside

 Wish-wall
At various "holy sites" people hang regular polythene shopping bags for luck
Here, the public is animated to hang theirs, with their wishes and dreams
Special requests will be accepted daily
until sunset. The public is requested
to use clean bags only and to tie them tight.

Luck and life, an immortal couple
Rusty undulated tin plates symbolize poor neighborhoods, in serious need for luck

Careful, Green border
(The symbol of not crossing into the areas occupied by Israel)

The foyer

The whale pond welcomes you to the show



 

Mirrors are decorated with white specks, in some cultures - against bad eye
Here the caption blesses the visitor's shoe, playing with the sound of
lucky hour in the Yiddish language, resembling the sound of lucky shoe

From the foyer to the southwest corner

 Southwest corner facing a Wonderful World
Theatre wardrobe demonstrates the ambiguity of
colorful clothing hinting towards shallowness and at times poverty.

 The artist wearing optimistic jewellery
The amulet says: Let us forget and forgive a little
