Author Description

For the last two years Tzaig has been closely collaborating with Israeli sculptor Avi Shaham. because they wished to combine their different media: the image and the physical object. Their latest project, Ancient Camera, is one of their biggest and most important collaborations until now. The artists built an oversized mini-DV camera, two and a half by two and a half metres in dimension, and mounted it on a huge tripod. The large, lead-clad sculpture has an alienating effect, because it does not correspond to the reality of the object. In stead of shooting images, the replica projects them.
