In the Center
Elyasaf Kowner, In the Center, 2001, 15 minutes





In this one scene video I have followed a conversation between two ladies. I was captivated by their presence and drifted into their private world. Like other of my 'Journey' genre videos, this one too, is neither true nor false. It represents both a remote reality but at the same time - an emotion I am longing for. I have tried to tune into an invisible darkness which is both funny and at the same time - it's what keeps me going. In Hebrew the title appears as one word ('Center' as an abbreviation of 'Dizengoff Center' which is a mall in the heart of Tel Aviv). So this word that was turned from English into Hebrew coverts its 'central' implication within it. Is it a peripheral center or a center because the heart is always there, at the center - just like Shelly, the one character we know by name, who happens have the same name as the cafe we are sitting in.
