Tears Become Rain

Video Installation, 4 projectors, 08:30 min, 2024

My solo exhibition at the gallery housed within Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem included video installation projected across three surrounding walls. The work wove together original footage shot in the stadium with archival fragments I had collected over several years.

Using a powerful laser projector, I projected images into the empty, darkened stadium, allowing the architecture to become an active part of the work. I was particularly interested in exploring the connection between football and art—physically, the distance between the pitch and the gallery is minimal, but mentally, the gap feels immense.

Outside the gallery, a 350-meter LED banner spanning the stadium’s façade displayed a large-scale text piece—soft, humorous, and optimistic—offering a poetic interruption to the city’s public rhythm. Within the gallery, additional LED panels presented shifting images and trilingual texts in Hebrew, Arabic, and English, inviting visitors into a gentle, multilingual dialogue in a place usually charged with intensity and division.
