My Ghetto
“My Ghetto” is a fictional “video-diary installation” based on imaginary experiences in my invented ghetto. During one year I found “save places”; (Hotel rooms, hidden corners, shelters), where I could sit comfortably and report to the camera about the horrors and adventures that I have seen and experienced in my imaginary Ghetto. I gathered more than 36 hours of documented reinvented memories that was never actually were belong to me. I edited it in such way that I took all the “air” out, creating hysterical and paranoiac behavior of the reporter himself, locked in his own private Ghetto. The moment this video ends another video begins (on a different screen): the artist listening to a recording of a Hebrew song named “My Ghetto” and, facing the camera, providing the viewers with a simultaneous English translation to the song. The third feature is the decoration of the studio walls with countless intensely colored prints of flowers of many shapes and colors.
