Aleph is a site specific installation consisting of sculptures, ready-made, video, prints and sound. The starting point of the project is the Hebrew letter Aleph (א). The work presents an amalgamat between four spaces: an office, a bar, a court, and a kind of game club that can also be described as a members club - all revolve around a certain bureaucracy, derived from the French word - Bureau. The desk is an object that represents a system that resonates with the 'א' shape. Following the letter’s shape, the table also contains four rooms or four arms that can simulate a crossroads or a meeting point of several ways - a dividing between upper world and an underworld or what is legal and what is above the law or an outlaw, and the duality of who is behind the counter and who is in front of it.
‘Aleph’ is a suggestion of a new territory that redeploys the existing order and creates a space in which low and high, front and back, become equivalent. The installation operates on the voltage between on and off, functioning and nonfunctioning.
