Summer Camp. 2007
Video, 12'
Bartana addresses national identity which is a very important issue for her country Israel. Her work also includes dealing with the corollaries of a constantly threatening war. Paradoxical as it may sound, it also deals with an everyday life that requires tolerance and coexistence between two confronted nations.
Summer camp is a video about the group called the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD) which in 2006 gathered some volunteers, coordinated by Palestinian workers, to rebuild houses that had been demolished by Israel in 2005 in Anata, a small town at East Jerusalem. On the back of this video it’s possible to see the projection Awoda (1934-35) of the director Helmar Lersky, shown in support of the Israeli desire to have a Zionist state.
