ROADSIDE OFFERINGS

Jerusalem, Israel 2004

A collaboration with Naomi Lees-Maiberg. We walk around the Jerusalem neighborhood, Ohel Moshe, with a shopping cart full of produce purchased at the nearby marketplace, stopping at different spots to set up little monuments – rows of strawberries on the cover of a gas balloon, oranges placed in a windowsill, piles of candies stacked in an entranceway. These works temporarily adorn the neighborhood, for the passersby to enjoy and partake of.
Each piece is photographed as it is made, and immediately adhered to a large map, hung in the community center, to mark its location.

Part of Heara 7 (Big Comment), one of a series of multidisciplinary site-specific events in Jerusalem, organized by the Salamanca group.
