1st video art & contemporary art fair. At the Hôtel Windsor 11 rue Dalpozzo Nice 25 November, 2 pm to 8 pm, and 26 November, 2 pm to 6 pm The Galerie Eva Vautier presents Yosef Joseph Dadoune. In The Desert, 2009 HD video 17’28’’ I 2 concrete blocks 30 x 110 cm I A chain I Sound In a desert landscape between Ofakim and Beer Sheva, a truck carrying drilling equipment arrives, noisily digs two vertical pillars into the ground, and leaves. A cypress and a palm tree are buried in their entirety within these two vertical pillars. This is exactly the opposite of what one might expect from such a place, where preservation and development are needed. The desert and its oasis fall victim to abuse, defenceless against the drilling and the pouring of two concrete blocks, which signify the ultimate symbol of modernism.
