Rehearsing the Spectacle of Specters, the title of Omer Krieger and Nir Evron’s video installation (2014), are the opening words of a poem by Anadad Eldan (b. 1924), member of Kibbutz Beeri on the Israel-Gaza border. Eldan – the “kibbutz poet,” who wrote texts for kibbutz ceremonies and festivals – is also a renowned, widely published lyrical poet. His poems have a unique sound based on rich and musical ancient Hebrew. The video documents a group of kibbutz members reciting the poem in the community center (Beit Ha’am) basement; it is, however, a digital choir of individual figures grafted one on the other, juxtaposed with footage of gathering areas and public stages enabling collective expression.
