Presentation January 30 – January 31 2010 from 13.00 – 18.00 hrs, free entrance
huwwara _ anybody, looking is an installation consisting of different sets, media and viewing formats (an audio piece, a single-screen computer animation, a double-screen interactive video). The installation is based on the re-enactment of video footage, archived on Youtube, of a report from Israeli TV Channel 2. The installation enables the observer, placed in a "third position", a vexing immersion into his/her ways of looking at, and perceiving of, extremely overcoded protagonists such as suicide bombers and high-tech military actors. Interjected is a doubled, apparently inconspicuous view of the neutral silhouette of a Palestinian city at night. The display of the restaged TV scene provides access to a "narrative of strangeness", an opaque extension to the existing demonizing imagery applied from both sides of the political antagonism in the Middle East, as well as a displacement of super-hero figurations from adolescent role model techniques.
