PRO TESTING 

2010 - 11'45" - COLOR - ENGLISH 

A FEW DAYS AFTER THE STORMING OF THE GAZA AID SHIP MAVI MARMARA BY ISRAELI SOLDIERS (MAY 31, 2010), NEWS AGENCIES CIRCULATED IMAGES OF A DEMONSTRATION IN BIL'IN (JUNE 4, 2010), DEPICTING A MODEL OF THE SHIP, PALESTINIANS DRESSED AS ISRAELI PIRATES, AND A GATHERED PRESS CORPS – WHICH IN TURN, IS BEING ATTACKED BY ISRAELI SOLDIERS. ONE AGENCY CAPTIONS THESE IMAGES UNDER THE HEADING "ISRAELI PALESTINIAN CONFLICT", THE OTHER UNDER "PALESTINIAN CULTURE". PRO TESTING CONTINUES THIS INTERPLAY OF LANGUAGE, IMAGE, AND EVENT, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY TESTING A NEW RULE OF THE GAME. IS THIS A DEMONSTRATION? OR DOES THE ACT OF FILMING ITSELF BECOME A DEMONSTRATION – A MACHINE FOR THE DISPLAY NOT OF AN EVENT, BUT OF ITS IMAGES? MARCEL BROODTHAERS' UN VOYAGE EN MER DU NORD EXTENDS ACROSS THE MEDITERRANEAN AND THROUGH A VILLAGE IN THE WEST BANK, ONLY TO END – AND BEGIN ANEW – ON A CITY SQUARE: A DEMONSTRATION THAT REFERENCES A SPECIFIC EVENT BY REENACTING IT IS ITSELF REENACTED THROUGH THE IMAGES DISSEMINATED BY NEWS AGENCIES – YET WITH A TEMPORAL LAG BETWEEN LANGUAGE AND IMAGE, CREATED BY THE DEMONSTRATIVE ACT OF SHOWING. "BATEAU, TABLEAU, DRAPEAU" – THESE TERMS ARE EASILY CONFUSED, AND NOT MERELY DUE TO THEIR PHONETIC SIMILARITY. VIEWERS AND PARTICIPANTS ARE THEREFORE CALLED UPON TO TEST THEIR OWN INTERACTIONS. 

 

ERAN SCHAERF 

BLINDED IN REMEMBERING THE PRESENT? ASK FRANZ 

2022 - 36'25" - COLOR - ENGLISH 

(LECTURE PERFORMANCE AT THE CONFERENCE "HIJACKING MEMORY. THE HOLOCAUST AND THE NEW RIGHT", JUNE 12, 2022, HAUS DER KULTUREN DER WELT, BERLIN. VIDEO DOCUMENTATION/ DAVID SAN MILLÁN/HKW.) 

ONE DAY ANDREAS APPEARS IN MY LIFE - AS NOVEL CHARACTERS TEND TO DO - AND TELLS ME ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REMEMBERING AND COMMEMORATING. WHEN HE VISITS A MEMORIAL SITE, HE UNDERSTANDS THAT HE CANNOT TAKE ANY MEMORIES FROM THE FORMER CONCENTRATION CAMP WITH HIM. THAT TIME IS OVER, BUT HE CAN COMMEMORATE HISTORY WITHOUT ANY MEMORIES OF HIS OWN. HE SEEMS TO COME FROM A TIME WHEN THE NATIONAL POLITICAL CURRENCY OF MEMORY IS NOT YET FOR SALE. I THINK ANDREAS MUST KNOW FRANZ, WHO WROTE ABOUT THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE. FRANZ IS FROM A DIFFERENT TIME. I BORROW SUCHAN'S CLOCKWORK TO REHEARSE THE MULTI-CHRONOLOGY OF MY STORY
