press release
The three works featured in Only Connect are good examples of the thematic concerns addressed by Israeli art in general and Israeli video art in particular in recent years. In many respects, the subject matter of the presented works is one: the search and definition of personal relations, of love, and a consequent need to define and comprehend their context.
Distinctively personal and centered on the artist’s presence, the works in the exhibition are typified by a strong performative quality. This holds true even for Miri Segal’s BRB (Be Right Back) , where the main character is not a person per se, but an avatar of the artist, searching and observing others in their quest for meaning in life and for relationships in the virtual world of the popular website Second Life.
