Raafat Hattab

Untitled, 2009, 03:30 min.

Artist Raafat Hattab, pumps water and waters and olive tree with the song "Love" in the background (by the Lebanese singer Ahmad Kaabour). The local looks, the deep connection to the land and the olive tree as the national symbol of the Palestinian village, goes awry as the video camera zooms out and reveals that the olive tree and Hattab are in the center of Rabin Square. The point of view instantly converts the planted into the displaced.

Barking Dogs Don't Bite, 2012, 06:57 min.

The work consists of two parts - day and night. Both feature an empty commercial gallery space. An unknown mechanism operates within the gallery space, a cycle in which a smoke bomb is thrown into the space from an unknown source, followed by the commercial / urban defense mechanisms designed to address this threatening scenario. The performative presence of the orchestrated defense mechanisms is not interrupted by anyone and does not merit the gaze of bystanders passing the gallery without noticing what is happening. The viewer appears to be the only witness to the unfolding drama.

The Days of the Family of the Bell, 2012, 04:57 min.

Inspired by a cinematic ploy invented by Spanish film pioneer, Segundo de Chomon in 1907, The Days of the Family Bell was filmed using a camera mounted to the ceiling while the actors lay on a black carpet underneath it. The video refers to the congestion that occurs in every performative action that integrates and constitutes the body. Through dance theatre, wrestling and acrobatics associations, the question of the search for the balance of social structures arises.

Jealous Guy, 2014, 05:46 min.

A film shot in a recording studio features a man drumming and singing along with Bryan Ferry performing his cover of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy." The drums in the recording studio are covered with seven manipulated photographs of women. Gradually it becomes clear that the tears and bruises on the women faces were caused by the drumbeats.
