The Living Gallery at The School of Visual Theater presents the exhibition True Time. From the moment the exhibition opens until it closes, the works continue to develop. Like a television series whose plot unfolds from week to week, each of the works on display has three episodes — that live and change over the course of the exhibition.

In Episode One, we will tour the works and encounter them in their first, initial form. Please note: the tour will begin at the time indicated in the program. Late admission will not be possible.

Omer Sheizaf presents The Invisible Man Remembers: the boy from On Sarig’s book series takes stock of his life. Still able to see without being seen, Danidin has no body — he is the theatrical effect itself, bringing the traumas of his life back to life. In the first episode, “Ruti,” he remembers a desire he could not fulfill without a body.

Yael Bartana’s trilogy And Europe Will Be Stunned was created nearly twenty years ago, yet continues to resonate powerfully in the present. In its first chapter, Mary Koszmary (Nightmares) (2007), Sławomir Sierakowski, leader of the Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland, delivers a speech calling upon Jews to return to their homeland, Poland.

Dori Cohen Forster’s After follows Maya Deren and Alexander Hackenschmied into the time loop of their film Meshes of the Afternoon. In the film, a woman returns home and becomes trapped in a symbolic and enigmatic dream structure in which time folds in on itself. Layers of images, objects, sound, text, and actions accumulate over the silent film.

Premiere. Episode duration: approximately 45 minutes.
