There's no Place like Home
Performance in collaboration with Maya Sharabani
Opening night of Tel Aviv municipality art weekend 2014
Duration: 3 hours
Yellow paint, municipal street cleaners equipment, clothing from the neighborhood stores and sound track of the 1939 Wizard of Oz movie.
A yellow path once winded through Neve Sha’anan neighborhood in south Tel Aviv, leading to a center for the blind.
The center is closed, the path is faded and partly gone. It’s a neighborhood in which the word ‘Home’ is full of question marks: veteran residents that feel there home was robbed from them, migrant workers who left there home for an opportunity to support it, refugees who were forced to run away from there homes and one neighborhood that is deemed the neglected back yard of the city.
Marked along four central streets of the neighborhood Dorothys’ yellow brick, is turned into a re-marking journey that leads no where.
