Green Line

A panning shot follows a wall-painting. This ‘trompe l’oeil’ painting actually represents the lanscape behind the wall. Slowly it turns to life, the beton begins to tremble as if the plants were growing inside it. Actually, this is what happens and after a while we realize it. This wall has been built recently in Jerusalem… We never know on which side we are until the end. Then, we see the wall continuing far away, standing in the landscape as a sculpture of a bad land-artist, suffering from paranoia and suicidal tendencies, and having been brought to power by a momentary lack of attention.
