Ofri Cnaani "The Sota Project"
Kunsthalle Galapagos
This event has ended.
Kunsthalle Galapagos presents "The Sota Project", an immersive, multilayered video installation that reenacts a controversial text from the Talmud. A tale of two sisters, bound together in symbiotic loyalty that unfolds in both time and three-dimensional space. Housed in an expansive, historic horse-stable above Galapagos Art Space, Ofri Cnaani's ambitious piece invites viewers to step into room-sized moving panoramas, and walk through an enigmatic and disturbing ancient story that has hardly been told.
Sota, an anonymous Biblical story, recounts the tale of two sisters, Sota and Bekhora, who are bound together in symbiotic loyalty when Sota's husband accuses her of infidelity. Against a backdrop of jealousy, betrayal, judgment, ritual humiliation, and ultimately death, Cnaani's installation depicts a deceptively simple moral parable that unfolds in countless ways.
