Gal Weinstein - Sun Stand Still

El Al - installation that presents the moment of a launch of a missile or rocket over the cultivated fields in Israel. (Jezreel Valley in the Dark) The fields are a simulation built with the dregs of coffee grinds. The installation wall and floor surfaces are covered with mold in patterns and images depicting the biblical moment when the sun and the moon were commanded to stand still (Moon Over Ayalon Valley). The ongoing decay is juxtaposed with the frozen moment of the simulated launch made physical.
