Dafna Maimon & Liz Magic Laser, 2009, video, 15 min.
Laser and Maimon developed a script by extracting and reformulating lines from popular disaster films (Armageddon, Outbreak, The Day After Tomorrow, The Core, Deep Impact, etc). This script was performed by actors, Neal Bledsoe and Annika Boras, as if they were a married couple hosting a dinner party. Within their neurotic dialogue the impending threat to man’s survival continually shifts from an asteroid to a disease to a dramatic climate change. As they argue about the task at hand (saving the world) they begin feeding their dinner guests in a progressively frenzied manner...

Palace of Contemplation
by Paul Clay. Digital video, 20 min.
Palace of Contemplation, 5 Sunsets and 5 Dawns, a 20 minute DVD video art work presented at the Cairo Opera House Art Gallery, Cairo, Egypt, uses the concept of the book to explore notions of learning, and uses the image of a book to create a “frame story” which “bookends” the piece. It is a poetic evocation of the Abandoned Halim Palace in Cairo, as well as a meditation on the whole life cycle of the building and its meaning in people’s lives, both throughout its current history, and into envisioned possible futures.
