7. Soundscape

This eighteen-channel soundscape draws from recordings made by the artist across Israel—forests, deserts, rivers, springs, farms, kibbutzim, and locations affected by the current war—and drawn from archival sources found at the National Library of Israel. This auditory experience envelops visitors, evoking the resilience of the land and people of Israel, offering a moment of meditation on the tensions between serenity and turmoil.

The soundscape draws inspiration from the pioneering 1970 Jerusalem River Project, Israel’s first conceptual artwork, which used sound to transform an empty valley into an auditory experience. By engaging both the past and present, this installation is a nod to Israel’s artistic legacy, while also pushing the boundaries of what a sukkah can be.
