The exhibition unfolds three different models for examining the relationship between the human body, the passing time, and the site of memory, rethinking commemoration as it is perceived in the local consciousness. While in Knaani’s work the monument becomes a playground, Alperstein and Turbahn offer a model for a new type of monument – provisional and short-lived yet pulsating, perspiring, and breathing. In Harel’s piece, the monument is pixelated while the body is left on the sidelines as a mere observer.
