EIN HAROD
.- This exhibition presents for the first time a series of works created by the performance and video artist Gregory Abou (b. 1974, France; lives and works in Tel Aviv) under the title JETESAIS (Iknowyou). The videos present a series of actions performed by Abou from 2016 to 2020 around the world: at the Lofoten archipelago in northern Norway; in the Yakushima Forest in southern Japan; at the Ein Ziv nature reserve in western Galilee; and at the Byzantine site of Shivta in the Negev Desert.
