Special Issue

Petra Paul: You can see it in the film about

the performance. I left the scene at the
end, when Rami Ater came and said it was
disturbing. There was a direct exchange
and talk about the performance after we
did it. First of all the voices came from the
off. Some reactions and questions. The
audience reception is vey important for us.
Ophira and I, we are always thinking about
the spectator. Also when we make film.
When we made ”Re-Recycling”, we saw the
film and we said, nobody will understand it.
So we made a little sequence before, that
people will understand. Hope, they will.
Thanks a lot for your time and for sharing
your thoughts, Petra and Ophira. Finally,
would you like to tell us readers
something about your future projects?
How do you see your work evolving?
Ophira Avisar: Thank you for a very

challenging and interesting set of
questions. I learned a lot from the need to
answer. I have new buds of ideas that
started during the process. I would like to
continue Petra's and my drifting to places
in Tel Aviv sea shore and elsewhere. Now
working on a series of photos containing
man and woman in which I change the
rules. Feminine rules for man and the other
way around. Testing the viewers. Thanks
again.
Petra Paul: Thanks a lot for your questions.

I am soon in Tel Aviv again. We will make
three films. In one film we put the word
PEACE in 82 different languages on our
body, we also make another peace-film and
a film which deals with male/war. We are
going to be co-exhibited during a group
exhibition with artists like Siax Soquel,
Maria Antonia Gigi Schramek, Doris Neidl at
Kuenburg castle in Lower Austria in
October 2016.
