Ori Shifrin Anavi and Michael Shvadron | "100"
video, 59 minutes, 2024 Screening during January, April, July, and October
A man draws black lines on an abandoned pathway, counting the days on the cracked surface with a paintbrush and paint. The count marks 100 days since 7.10.2023, 100 days in which the hostages are held captive in Gaza. The hour-long film, shot in a single take, plays in reverse after its completion, transforming the act of marking into one of erasure. The heart trembles, the blood freezes, and time stands still. This is a stark reminder of the shocking number of days that have passed, the growing anxiety about time running out – a declaration that this action will continue until their return.
