Ben Hagari (Tel Aviv, Israel)
Invert, 2010
11:03
In this piece by Israeli artist, Ben Hagari, duality is explored-mirrors, color inversion, inverted speech, closed eyes are "open," etc. Even backgrounds and characters are painted their opposite color, so "natural" color is restored through inversion.
Gilad Ratman (Tel Aviv, Israel)
Che Che the Gorgeous, 2005
9:52
Gilaad Ratman's cinematic video art doesn't follow an narrative arc, but embodies a poetic cohesion. In this work, Gilaad focuses on ruined illusions by revealing the foley artists who made the sounds for the first half of the video.

Crossing the Dune, 2010

Elham Rokni
Spaghettidog, 2006

The artist stated, "This work started as a parody on amateur porno movies, and only after the shooting, while editing, the primal intention changed into a more existential state of mind so during the work itself, everything was very humoristic and fun."
Brian Sabalausky (Cleveland, OH)
Live Studio Audience: Late Night in the Heights, 2011
2:18
Brian Sabalausky deconstructs the talk show genre by using its trappings and isolating them for individual consideration.

Exquisite Corpse, 1999
2:37

Karel van Laere (Maastricht, Netherlands)
Impact, 2010
9:29

Mission: Cleveland Land Mass, 2011
8:00
Playing off of Cleveland's recent history of vacant urban land, this piece urges viewers to experience the obvious, the familiar and the ignored through the distorted lens of the camera like the original moon landing.
