Memories and Light
The two video sequences have been filmed in different moments of the day in the main symbolic locations of two capitals in the mid-east: the Mamilla mall in Jerusalem, a connection bridge between the old and the new city and the Galata Bridge in Istanbul, a bizarre hotchpotch of Europe and Asia, of west and east.
Mamilla, which had to wait three decades before seeing the light, has been designed by the same architect, Moshe Safdie who, in 2005, built the Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem. The realization of a mall on the Green Line has a conceptual meaning: if, from 1949 to 1967, it was an impassible line, now it doesn't exit anymore and people of any kind of faith can walk through it every day without even think of it. People interlace their paths at the piano rhythm and the Green Light slowly dissolves, when finally a bright light, symbol of hope and union, takes its place.
The second video “YAKAMOZ” has been filmed in different moments of the day on the Galata bridge, a connection between east and west.
And here is where black and white fishing rods and ships, metaphor of people and of their stories, interlace their paths at the piano rhythm.
The negative film of the Bosphorus create a scenario with no boundaries.
At the end the black and white slowly dissolves to the glaming of the moon reflecting on the Bosphorus, YAKAMOZ, when finally a bright Light, symbol of peace and hope, takes its place.
