North Carolina. Brooklyn. Dallas. Keren meets a family on the subway, she meets another family when she wants to learn the harmonica. She is drawn to them. They are drawn to her. She asks to film in their homes. To film them. In exchange, in one case she is asked to come to the local church every Sunday for two months. In another case she moves to North Carolina with the family she has met.
Who is she for them? She is Trixie the lover, or mom Trixie, or sister Trixie. And so the game begins. She asks them to tell her everything they do not like about her. They write letters to her and start rehearsing. They play with reality. Everyone are filming and everyone are acting…or are they? Trixie-Keren uses manipulations, staging the relationships while they direct themselves. She asks permission to eat their leftovers. This is the starting point of “Shelf Life.” She eats the leftovers and in return she has to surrender. Change her identity. Keren will give them all in order to get what she is looking for. What she needs. Examining different family models. She looks not to be loved, to get the leftovers. The entire world is an edge. The assistant director becomes a character, a member of the family. Trixie the whore is Keren the artist. She eats the leftovers of the family, which in return, ask of her to take part in the filming of their own horror screenplay which we will not get to see. (The screenplay and footage are the property of the “father” in “Shelf Life”).
Between films, the stills and videos of “Broken Capefive/Kayfabe.” A story that links the two films. The story of the pro wrestling brothers Von Erich from Dallas, Texas, which an Israeli girl called Keren loved and admired. Keren wants to be a part of the famed wrestling family, this is her teenage dream. A fantasy that takes the form of a fictional story, through which she photographs and documents. One by one, the Von Erich brothers commit suicide. This is not a fiction. Keren looks for other families through which she could ask about her place. Keren sells herself senseless. “You cannot help but love Trixie,” says Danny. “It’s impossible not to love Trixie” says Daniposter_sample

Real Time in the Age of Lie, JFF, 2004

Real Time in the Age of Lie | Intersection Festival for Experimental Video | 21st Jerusalem Film Festival, Hazira Performance Art, Jerusalem Cinematec | July 2004  

“In an age when lie predominates – the moment is an
aesthetic revolution. Or not.”
(Marianne Loop)

In “Real Time in the Age of Lie”, video art in its plastic and performative context is at the stage center. “Real Time” as the point of departure for an experimental video event, where Real-Time (live broadcasting), Image, and the Immediate, are examined from different angles, through a variety of art fields which make use of the mediums of video and/or photography.

In our present-day visual reality, crucially shaped by the mass media, the art of video in its various manifestations (video art, documentary video, V.J., home video, etc.) has become a central medium for the representation and molding of an-other reality, and for the expression of the counter voice.
In this evening, video works that deal with documenting and processing reality in a poetic, sculptural, conceptual, and/or political way, offer either an alternative for the common visual reality, or supplementing it, or hiding it.
It is an attempt to present one moment – of the real in time.
