CHILDHOOD MEMORIES REUNION

A Childhood memory has a lasting effect on us. It is a part of the roots from which we grow and shape, yet it is a deceiving, blurry matter. It can not be processed without alteration, without the variable of who you are today, the unique point of view from which you see the present, the past and the future.
Growing up in the same Kibbutz, sharing familiar family histories traced back to Germany, Noga (Jerusalem) and Didi (Berlin) bring up their shared childhood memories and interpret them as a
visual dialogue: Finding new connections between immigration and birds migration, aviation and translation. “Growing up in Hahula Valley... It’s like an international connection point, an airport for all aviations; strange birds in the sky from all kinds, Pelecanus from Africa, crane birds from Europe, all land here then move on to their next destination.

Missiles land in the fields around us and we feel lucky that ‘here the missiles don’t hit and the snow never falls’. Choppers circle above our heads or falling to the ground, kids waving their hands to the sky welcoming and goodbyeing army aircrafts…” Now their grandmothers songs from a distant place is distorted through generations, telling a new story about foreignness and alienation.
