TAMU PIGEONS (ETUDE)

An installation etude: In a dark, square space with a concrete floor painted red lies a plaster cast of an almost full body, on its side. The body is bisected at the pelvis and illuminated within a square warm light frame. Diagonally across from it, a white canvas is laid, sprinkled with plaster crumbs from the cast. Projected onto the canvas is a video (a static shot) filmed in the courtyard of the Tel Aviv Museum, where pigeons are seen eating breadcrumbs scattered by a bagel seller.

The sound in the space is a layered composition utilizing fragments of a solo cello recording I made, and nothing else. It lasts about 6 minutes, synced with the video. TAMU is the acronym of Tel Aviv Museum of Art. In Hebrew TAMU (תַּמּוּ) means “ended” or “completed”.
