I am fascinated with newsreels from the beginnings of the State of Israel. The so-called "Zionist Realism" is anything but a reflection of reality, it is hard-core propaganda.
In this series, for each work I choose a single frame from the full "news" item. Rendering the black and white footage in ink softens the image and in the process raises questions about the content and context of what is generally considered to be documentary history. I question the way the required place of women in society was presented, how much it mirrored the role of women in real life, and how it reflects on the way women are perceived in different places in the world nowadays.
