Hinda Weiss

The Agency for Legal Imagination presents 5846, 5851, and 5852 vs. the Population and Immigration Authority, a video work and installation by Hinda Weiss in collaboration with Asaf Weitzen.

Through colors, rhythms and sounds, the video work and installation 5846, 5851, and 5852 vs. the Population and Immigration Authority deals with an Israeli supreme court's decision regarding three people requesting not to be sent to the Holot Detention Facility.*

A new codification of a legal document is proposed through the creation of an original visual sign language; a musical interpretation; and through the voice of Mutasim A. Ali, an activist and asylum seeker himself. The work’s visual translation of legal concepts brings to mind the reading of musical notes, movement notation, or sign language.

*The Holot Detention Facility is a prison for African asylum seekers located in the South of Israel.

The video was made with support of Artport Tel-Aviv and Ostrovsky Family Fund

Exhibited with the kind support of the Artis Grant Program

Organized by The Agency for Legal Imagination operating throughout 2018 at Ludlow 38
