‘On One Stalk’ places the audience between two cannons, aimed at each other. The first cannon is located on top of a fountain at the entrance to the city of Nahariya, Israel. The second cannon is deep in the sea, about two kilometers from the shores of Saida, Lebanon. While the two inoperative cannons rust on both sides of the Lebanese-Israeli border, the space between them represents an unrealized desire for an encounter. The soundtrack was designed to resemble the air cycles of the divers who photographed the cannon in Saida, and the bubbling of the pipes of the colorful fountain in Nahariya. Multiple projections are installed in a way that emphasizes the presence of the viewers inside the exhibition space.
