Dead Sea (19'30'') © 2004, Sigalit Landau
A cord of two hundred and fifty meters penetrates five hundred water melons forming a six meter spiral raft in the saturated salt waters of the Dead Sea. The spiral turns as a whirlpool reversed from it s normal direction. I am floating locked inside the spiral layers between the center and the periphery of the sweet raft. I am reaching out against the direction of the turning raft towards a small area in the spiral where the fruit is wounded, red and exposed like myself to the sting of the salt. The salt solution of the dead sea enables everything to float on its illusive surface. The spiral gradually becomes a thin green line abandoning the viewer. The film was shot in mid August 2004 in the area of Sdom south of Masada.
