Shot on a commanding hilltop in northeast Jerusalem, Nir Evron’s A Free Moment unfolds within the open concrete skeleton of the summer palace begun in the mid-1960s by King Hussein of Jordan. 

Employing a robotic camera installed on a dolly track that he laid out on the second floor of the palace, Evron made a film that consists of a single complex, pre-programmed shot. Opening with a breathtaking view looking down on the city of Jerusalem, A Free Moment moves quickly into unexpected visual territory as the camera tilts and pans in a 360-degree circle, while slowly traveling from one end of the dolly track to the other. Evron’s experimental exercise is firmly anchored in the present moment, especially in its emphasis on the need to see and think in new ways about a very specific contested terrain.

Artis is an independent nonprofit organization that broadens international awareness and understanding of contemporary art from Israel, and provides important resources, programs and platforms for artists and art professionals to develop lasting partnerships with the global art community. Their video on Nir Evron provides an overview of his work and practice. It was filmed in his studio in South Tel Aviv.

Check out all of A Free Moment, on view now in A Different Kind of Order: The ICP Triennial.

Triennial Artist Spotlight: Shimpei Takeda 

Shimpei Takeda was born 40 miles from the site of the nuclear disaster that took place in Fukushima, Japan, in the wake of a violent earthquake and tsunami that devastated the country in March 2011. Takeda responded to the catastrophe with his series Trace—cameraless records of radioactive contamination, in which he placed radioactive soil from the Fukushima area in contact with photosensitive sheets of film. The resulting “autoradiographs” appear to document solar systems, galaxies, or segments of star-strewn sky, but they are in fact impressions of the radiation emitted by contaminated particles of earth.

Triennial Artist Spotlight: Lisa Oppenheim 

Oppenheim’s work, analog equipment such as projectors and gelatin silver paper, is repurposed for use in the digital era. Her photographs and films often begin with Internet research, which she considers central to her practice. The results are hybrids of generations and technologies that are neither wholly dependent on their forerunners nor untethered.

For her series Smoke, which will be showcased in the ICP Triennial, Oppenheim sourced photographs of fire from web databases such as Flickr and the Library of Congress and cropped the images to isolate their clouds of smoke. She made transparencies of the altered image in Photoshop and exposed them onto new photographic paper using the light of a small butane torch or matches. Variations in timing, the transparency used, and studio debris such as dust register in her photographs as subtle gradations that morph in successive frames. Without horizons or people in the frame, the reexposed smoke billows become abstractions. 

A Different Kind of Order: The ICP Triennial is on view May 17 to September 8, 2013.
