Discourse Monument

Thinking, doing, re-assessing, re-doing, re-considering, and then finally attempting to bring into being something that grasps the multiple realities encountered in the process of creating, and then aiming to situate the result within a transdisciplinary contextualized setting, in which the intimation and implication of design can be questioned and renegotiated as a socially responsive and critically aware act.

—————————-…The book was distributed to individuals with the command to rip out a page and distribute them. In this way, the pages are ripped out one by one, distributing the knowledge, and diminishing the book as an object. The intention with the performance, the book, and the deconstruction of the book itself, was to create a discourse monument. The act of constructing an alternative discourse through interaction and dialogue symbolically represents the process of an alternative discourse being monumentalized. The monument therefore, lies not in the book itself, but in the production and reproduction of discourse surrounding it.

3.)

The book is based on a four-hour interview, and illustrates the personal conflict of feeling proud of a pacifist choice, but equally guilty for not fulfilling the requirements of a ‘good Israeli citizen’. The form of the book emphasizes the individual negotiation process of positioning ones sense of national belonging to Israeli society, as he shifts back and forth between feeling proud and guilty, within the interview.
