Ilyan Marshak usually goes into the street to document social protest events as part of his activities in the Civil Press 99% organization. This time he looks through the window of his Tel Aviv apartment at a young man dancing in the street, under a jet of water gushing from a fire hydrant 
that was hit several moments earlier in an accident.
The video was shown on the Internet and within 
a few days it turned out that the dancer was 
Yaakov Piltzer, who lives near the photographer, 
and like him transformed reality into an amazing artistic experience.

While social and political uprisings are taking place in Israel and throughout the world, and while individuals are joining hands, this video presents the tension between the private and the public space – on the boundary of an intimate corner. When does the external pervade the internal? How do these spaces intermix?

During 2011 and 2012 the interactive magazine ZOOZ sought to examine how virtual documentation and exposure affect graffiti artists who work in the street, in most cases in the dark, hidden from the eyes of the public and the police force. A joint venture of the Jaffa Governance and the ZOOZ editorial board in an alley between the Old City of Jaffa and the reconstructed Jaffa port.

“The Great Wave,” is a modern version of the Japanese artist Hokusai’s “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”. The work underscores the transition made by artists from the world of tattoos to the world of art on walls of the public space.

In “People with Wings”, artist Yochai Matos invited passers-by to have their picture taken under the wings of the angel and star under the halo that he placed in the street; he sent the photographs to a Facebook page where a virtual social meeting was taking place between all those photographed.
