Arkadi Zaides

The James Gallery presents internationally-acclaimed choreographer

collaborators explore gestures of everyday life through the use of
documentary footage. The artworks focus on the Israeli-Palestine
conflict to reveal different discourses of human rights. The exhibition
includes the two-channel video installation
Capture Practice (2014) made
with
Effi Weiss & Amir Borenstein; the world-premiere of The
Protest
(2016) made in collaboration with documentary filmmaker Dana
Shalev; and the multidisciplinary artist Daniel Landau’s 360 video
Time-Motion Study (2016).
