Abstract

Starting from the video Barbed Hula by Sigalit Landau, in which the Israeli artist spins a hula hoop of barbed wire around his naked body, the text presents reflections on contemporary Israeli society in face of his working memory. It also discusses the project of the artist to build a salt bridge on the Dead Sea, thereby reactivating certain utopian energies typical of modernity.
