EREZ NEVI PANA
FILMMAKER FOR MUSEUM FILMS & MARKETING
This 60 minute-long film was mostly shot with a drone, both above and inside of a banana green house near Carmel mountain in Israel on the hottest day of the year. The film's soundtrack is taken from Gorovich's ground-breaking debut album 'Vortex' from Iboga Records, a psychedelic trance voyage. Ultimately, this film is to become a rave.
Designer Erez Nevi Pana sees nonchalant behavior in regard to the planet, in turn he depicts a future (2150) where the planet's climate flips and Milan becomes tropical, filled with bananas. He designed objects for the endlessly relaxing human, a rocking chair, a cocoon and a bean-bag-chair - all of which are made of banana fibers.
This project has been exhibited in Israel, Belgium & Italy. Read more about it on dezeen.com
BLEACHED / CRYSTALLINE / RECRYSTALLIZING THE DESERT
Erez has been asking me to come film at the Dead Sea for him quite a few times, with every visit being different and unexpected - as this sea is. We filmed his objects that got lost to the salt, the thriving chemical industry and the extreme conditions that it has created for nature around the area of its' factories.
These projects have been exhibited in Israel, Spain & Australia.

WATER SOUNDS BETTER WITH YOU
In this film we follow Deborah and Yarden, two artists who worked on collaborative art project with the use of A.I. and the people of the kibbutz from which Deborah is from - Kfar Haruv. The project used 4500 face photos of the kibbutz's members, which were used to create new members using GAN technology. The project also included 3D scanning of living rooms from the kibbutz's members, which were used to model new furniture for the new members. These pieces were constructed in reality and placed in the kibbutz's pool as their living room. This underwater gallery was showcased in an event where all the kibbutz gathered at the pool to celebrate the arrival of the new members and were welcomed to jump in to swim around and observe the art. Swimming reflects the flow of digital space.
The film takes on three perspectives, the first of Deborah and Yarden at eye level, the second underwater, and the third from above looking 90 degrees down - the view of the A.I. member. This member, or character, has a voice that comes about as A.I. generated text in intervals throughout the film. The film uses drone videography, screen recordings of 3D environments and A.I. generated imagery.
This project went on to be exhibited in Israel several times. During Zero One Festival for art & technology, we had the chance to develop the project further by asking new questions as to how the kibbutz can progress through technology? We conceptualized the new kibbutz as a DAO and commemorated the event by minting NFTs as digital twins of art.

In this film we again follow Deborah and Yarden, this time they've collaborated on an art project with the use of intensive labor and the people of a different kibbutz - Samar. Together they created a giant tapestry / shade that used a sewing technique invented by an elder. Using images of the kibbutz's members, they memorialized stories in the fabric. The project also included a very social attitude in which the artists really immersed themselves in the community and out of creating studio, they actually recreated lost friendships. This tapestry was unveiled in a ceremony where everyone came - to help out, you'll see...
The film takes on a repetitive storyline to emphasize the intensiveness of the labor. It follows a day / night pattern of editing where the day is for sewing and the night is for picking dates. The film uses drone videography at night to reach the heights of the dates.
