Still from the video work Within This Narrow Strip of Land, by Judy Price, 2008/2009

WITHIN THIS NARROW STRIP OF LAND
Judy Price is a London based artist who works with video, sound, photography and installation. For her exhibition at Danielle Arnaud Contemporary Art she presented a number of works from lengthy research in Israel and Palestine. Price comissioned Maia Urstad to construct the sound elements for her video exhibition. By incorporating ambient sounds from the Eye Hospital in East Jerusalem, an emotionally charged and at times abstract composition created a poetic film drawing the viewer into a thought provoking space with the work rather than didactic. A number of small vignettes, like moving stills were placed around the gallery presenting night shots from different locations in Israel and the Palestinian territories. Caught moments with partial visibility they alluded to a landscape filled with trepidation, in flux, intense and unheimlich.
