FAR AWAY AND CLOSE ENOUGH

-

This installation is a site-specific project planned to be built in a historic Jerusalem post office. The corridor that runs along the main area will be extended to enclose the space creating a series of additional corridors, which guide the viewer through the exhibit offices. All exits and entryways originating from the passageways will be sealed, except from sets of four. Once the viewer enters the space he can turn left and go straight into the office areas or turn right and go through a long series of consecutive corridors that will lead him back to the same starting point the offices. The rearrangement of the space creates a paradoxical structure, because it renders the gallery's administrative offices functionless--as the gallery is now blocked, turned into an access path to them--while at the same time leaving said offices as the only focal site of activity, the place where all roads lead to.
