TEL AVIV.- Rodeh’s third solo show at
Rosenfeld Gallery Tel Aviv marks a new ambitious chapter in her diverse career. CITY DUMMIES is a series of born-digital motion clips marking an artistic shift from traditional filmmaking to post-cinematic engines, in which she creates fictional hyper-realistic urban sceneries depicting embodied machines at play. The protagonists of CITY DUMMIES are assets of the current Zeitgeist acting out at nighttime. Nocturnal scenes show rental-sharing e-Scooters forming a rhythmic light organ; a faulty ATM spitting out banknotes—only to get violently shut down by a drone; a gas pump splashing fuel and a pneumatic bollard doubles as a public ashtray. Light, movement, sound and visual effects lead the way into this imaginary urban landscape, commenting on today's increasingly commerce-dominated cities.
About the artist: Alona Rodeh is an Israeli visual artist, scenographer, and urban practitioner based in Berlin and Tel Aviv. Her cross-disciplinary practices are rooted in the perception of nocturnal space and include creating large immersive environments incorporating light and sound, research-based publishing, night walking, and more. With an emphasis on public space, she has shown her works extensively inside and outside institutions, museums, and galleries in Israel, Germany, and abroad. She sphoradically teaches at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design and is an advocate of the International Dark Sky Association.
