Crime Scene
Overview:
Set in Jaffa/Tel Aviv artist Michal Heiman contemplates time and cigarettes, while writer Yehouda Shenhav discusses Arabic poetry. A mix of detective story and personal narrative 'Crime Scene' departs from the dense collage of earlier works to contemplate narrative dead ends that nonetheless evoke deeper meanings. Tel Aviv streets, Palestinian women taking selfies, the writing of 20th century poet Zelda, a turbulent sea and bleak petrol stations tell a story of the occupation and its resistance.
