Water Cuttings

By Anat Michaelis-Levy (concept & drawing) and Gabrielle Neuhaus (concept and performing)
A documentary of an intervention in Eran Ehrlich's installation "The Black Sea Project", Nahshon Gallery, Israel, November 2004

Israeli visual artist Eran Ehrlich's threefold installation "The Black Sea Project", was initiated in November 2004 with "The Son", continued in February 2006 with "El Um" (The Mother), and will be concluded with "The Nought".
For "The Son", E. Ehrlich invited four performance artists/teams to create a piece in the flooded gallery, each of them giving a different reading of it.
Gabrielle Neuhaus, wearing a shiny evening dress and a train of delicate ink drawings by Anat Michaelis-Levy, crosses the black water gently and carefully, cutting it with a pair of scissors. Step by step, snip after snip, an imaginary line is pinned to her body.
Original duration: 12 minutes
