Udi Gabrieli:
“…There is a lot of tension between near and far - between a bird’s eye view (like God’s), a pilot’s view of a battle field, of far away land, and the invasive
closeness of the sound.
The breathing sounds remind me of a resuscitator,
which compresses oxygen, something very physical and sensual. You find yourself involved, trying to connect to the rhythm of the breathing, to the need to breathe. If you don’t breath, you don’t exist -- sucked into the experience of dying and death...
Despite that, the view is distant. A distant view of
a playground, of childhood through the eyes of an old man.”
