Multiple channel video installation, sound, photos and The Full Catastrophe,a conversation with philosopher Nick Pappas on friendship from Plato to Facebook.

This is the theme of Dry Heat, a multiple channel video installation that includes interviews with a brother and sister living in Israel. Elan  found a spiritual and emotional connection to the country and moved to Efrat, a community east of the green line, were he is raising his family. Amber and her husband Assaf are studying in an ecological program whose motto is nature knows no borders. Despite their political differences they maintain a relationship.

No Flak, a text animation that links the attitudes of Dada and the Theatre of the Absurd to the present moment synchronizes the two channels.
