THE SLEEVE

Performance / Video / Installation
Created by Liron Barchat & Talya Eliav

The sleeve is a kind of limbo — a space between life and death, where forgotten possibilities are still hanging around.

Inside, we encounter old longings, abandoned expectations, and things we once hoped for but can no longer remember if they ever happened. It is not exactly an escape, but a place to meet all the lives that could have been — and perhaps still could be.

The Sleeve combines movement, text, song and music with video projected onto translucent curtains. Bodies move inside the image, somewhere between woman and projection, flesh and technology, presence and disappearance.
