Every night at midnight in my local time-zone, a new headline is posted on the website – generic words of wisdom and advice that have been culled from a daily horoscope allegedly created in response to the date and time of my birth. Black text on a white background: each entry creates an intimate encounter with a sentence so general that it becomes endlessly relatable, holding potential meaning for every reader to identify. As the proverbs and guidelines offered by Recalculating Route change daily, there is no access to the previous sentences and no opportunity to take a glance at future ones. The title of the work emerges from the vocabulary of GPS device when calculating the route to a given destination.
Recalculating Route is the first part of the online trilogy, No Time for Nostalgia [dot] Now.

A found scene in the suburbs of Philadelphia; a shadow in the form of a house is created by the angle of the sun on the façade of this building. The projector is programmed to turn on for one minute every 24 hours, at the precise hour when the photo was originally taken. The rest of the time, the projector is off.

Neither the street lamp nor the sun are in full brightness. One is fading in and one is fading out. While on a beach walk in Israel at sun-set hour I noticed a street lamp turning on in parallel to the sun setting. I took a snapshot of this still life in motion – a full spectrum of colors, a daily shifting alteration between a natural phenomenon and an electronic light source.

An existing interval of two minutes between two working clocks on the facade of a church. The photograph was taken at noon with the left clock face showing one minute after noon and the right, one minute before noon. While wandering around Berlin, I noticed a two-minute difference between the two clocks on the façade of the Saint Thomas church in Kreuzberg. I returned to the site with a 35mm camera to photograph the façade at precisely 12:00. This symmetry between the clocks and the work’s palindromic title underscore both the fundamental absence of a non-disrupted “present” and the excessive presence of the past and future.

Tuned precisely to follow the opening hours of the exhibition Cool Loneliness, this spatial sundial liberates me from regularly checking the hour. The mirror is positioned in such a way that at 2 p.m., the opening hour, a ray of sunlight that enters through the window is directed to the ceiling. During the following five hours, the projected sun beam traverses the living room space until precisely 7 p.m. – the closing hour – when it exits the space.

2011
Over a period of seven weeks I invited seven female artist friends from different countries to stay with me – each one for one week – for an in-situ dialogue in Kunsthuis SYB. These artists are important personas in my life and practice. During this time, I was looking to bridge the physical distances that separate us and to examine notions such as: leisure and friendship and the lack of togetherness in today’s world. Our time together was meant to provide ideal conditions for communication, for projection of individual information, for collecting in order to create a greater whole – in order to look into how things are created and how we create things.The project is accompanied by a blog – a log of our moments together, a collection of information, experiences and emotion. In 2012 the artist book Exstatic+Streaming was published as a reflection upon this residency through texts and images.
Participating artists: Keren Benbenisty, Gaëlle Boucand, Rada Boukove, Halina Kliem, Shana Moulton and Anat Spiegel.
Zimmer for FAB was made possible with the support of Kunsthuis SYB, Mondriaan Fonds, Fonds BKVB and Institut Français des Pays-Bas.

During the exhibition :-)-: daylight was removed from the gallery and the only light sources were spotlights directed towards stacks of paper featuring the phrases “TOO MUCH”, “TOO LITTLE”, “TOO LATE”. This theatrical and artificial ambiance was interrupted daily when, fifteen minutes before the exhibition closed, all the lights in the space were switched on. A signal for closing time.Controllar, an experimental pop duo, were commissioned to compose a piece to be performed live in the space at the same time as INTERVENTION. Their composition was inspired by this moment of “lights-on”, a familiar finale in bars and clubs at the end of a night out. As soon as the performance ended, Controllar left and the gallery was immediately closed.

The duration of the mechanism of this cuckoo clock is one day. Each day the chains must be pulled in order for the two weights to go up. The cuckoo calls once every half an hour as well as every hour, the appropriate number of times of the announced hour. Here, the cuckoo is delayed by ten minutes in real time; positioning the listener-user in another relation to the measuring of passing time.

The term “fata morgana” means more than just an optical phenomenon. The interpretation of the image is up to the fantasy of the viewer. Yet, it will always disappear once approached and will immediately reappear in the far horizon. A black painting on the wall is made. An imaginary landscape with the help of handmade stencil – a palm tree, lake and two mountains – and does not disappear once approached. A ray of sunlight, which cycles through the space daily, from the ground towards the image and away, marks time and links this seemingly motionless space to the outside world.
This work was made specifically for atelier Barbara Leisgen in ENSBA and exhibited on 21 June 2005; the summer solstice.

The plural of the noun is denoted by the letter “s”. Once it is dropped, this abstract countdown has come to an end.In Summer 2011 in Paris, I saw a window shop that had the word SALE written in handwriting on its window. And below in big size were the words: “Last Days”. Only that the “s” was crossed out announcing the end of this abstract, letter based, countdown, the beginning of which; hence its end remains unknown.
