“West
and East” (2007-2010)
Performance -film by sala-manca group - a translation to
Goldin and Abramson's film East and West
This live performance and video by Argentinian-born, Jerusalem-based
artists the Sala-Manca Group is an homage to Sidney Goldin and Ivan
Abramson’s East and West and a study in cultural and
linguistic translation. It tells the story of Yaakov, an Orthodox Jewish
graffiti writer who travels to Vienna.
Suspected of subversive activities, he is pursued by Moly, an agent of
the Israeli intelligence service, who disguises herself as a young
Orthodox man. The relationship that develops between then force them to
rethink their duties to their religion and to the state. West and East
translates the comic subversiveness of Goldin and Abramson’s film
to the contemporary moment. Sala-Manca’s work—performance
pieces, installations, and print publications—“investigates
issues of art and communication generally, such as the interrelation of
art and memory, the role of the artist in the community, the
interrelation of low-tech and high-tech aesthetics, and the poetics of
translation—not only from one language to another, but also across
cultures and media” (Jeffrey Shandler,Rutgers University).
