VISITORS | Created by Daniel Landau

Israel Museum, The Ruth Youth Wing
Curator: Shir Yamagutchi

In this installation, I invite visitors into a single living room that combines the home environments of two families. Although they live next to each other, the Arab family and Jewish family remain separate from one another, each in their own reality. Using virtual reality glasses you are able to ”meet” members of both families from up close, and hear from them about what connects and divides them. This installation allows you to examine the gaps between the families, to imagine a meeting between them, and to cross the boundary between the real and the virtual.
