A trippy animated journey through the hundreds of catalogues printed by the Israel Museum over the last 50 years. We scanned, cut, filed, tore and read. We were reorganizing the catalogues over and over. The more we broadened our research, the more the film became personal. And we realized the film no longer deals with the art we absorbed but with the way we look at it, the space between the artist and the observer. The piece was initiated as a site-specific projection for “Contact Point”, an all-night event that hosts artists in a range of media who engage with art works throughout the Israel Museum in Jerusalem

"Assuming every man had a box that contains something we call "a beetle", and no one could look at another one's box, then everyone will know what is this beetle just by looking on their own beetle" (Ludwig Wittgenstein) A short animation and dance film about our mind and about how we share it with the world around us. Do we control what thoughts we share and how they are interpreted? Are our thoughts really ours? What is “real”, what is “comprehending”? And what role does art take in all this? The movie is composed of four studies of boxes: a man in a cell-like room with a television, a woman trapped within the drawers of a cabinet, a TV advertiser selling carrots and disturbing the peace of others and an animator who manipulates miniature figures of the man, the woman and the advertiser inside a small box. All these elements are interspersed with animation and dance, on which the room, the cabinet, and the small box are situated. Based on the Dance Performance "Year of The Hare"
