Shabloolie by Camellia Nieh
11 JulNature. Dance. Naturedance. Beauty in motion. Camellia Nieh in another beautiful psychedelic reflection on dance and nature.
She also gives a beautiful quote from Sufi mystic master Rumi.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.
_Rumi
Coldplay – Up&Up (Official video)
21 MayColdplay’s new music video Up&Up directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia is a surrealist masterpiece bringing together all types of disparate elements like cars driving on the rings of Saturn, a gymnast jumping over fields bombarded by napalm bombs, a ferry docking inside a bathtub, or people diving inside a washing machine. Just beautiful.
Victoria Hanna – The Aleph-bet song
30 AprThis is a work of genius! Victoria Hanna takes a feminist turn on the Cheder (Jewish school for boys) , teaching the Hebrew Alphabet to young girls, and adding nice yemenite touches. Her second video which quotes profusely from “Sefer Yetzira” one of the fundamental mystical texts of Kabbalah, also deals with the 22 letters of the Hebrew Aleph-Bet, and together with Darshan’s psychedelic take on the Aleph-Bass which was featured here earlier this year, we expect you’d be able to read Hebrew soon.
Acro Flashmob
16 AprA flash mob of acro-balance artists takes Tel Aviv passerby crowd by surprise, as more and more join the party.
Ave – Bracha LaShana Hachadasha (A blessing for the new year)
23 JanA few years ago we’ve featured a number of videos by Ave (here, here and here), which presented a very personal, meditative and sometimes even mystical style.
I find that Ave’s work is remarkable in the way in which it connects one to the experience of the present moment. Even more remarkably, it does that by merging the viewer with the naked presence of the moment in which the video was taken, with its qualities of unpredictability, unrepeatability, spontaneity and freedom. These meditative journeys can be embarked upon by following a plastic bag as it wonders around the city, going up and down the amusement park wonder wheel together with your friend, or singing to the sun.
In this video Ave and friends probe deeper into the realms of performance. They present the camera with a space of deep intimacy, which can be entered and experienced by anybody watching this video.
My dear son Ephraim
6 NovBack in the 1960s, in the height of the psychedelic era, even the house band of the Israeli army’s infantry division “Nahal” started dabbling in psychedelics. Taking this well known traditional hymn “My dear son Ephraim” (Ha-Ben Yakir Li Ephraim), mixing it with some psychedelic sounds and images as well as some shtetel style, the band created this unique and quite extraordinary clip. Enjoy.
Alma Zohar – Psychedelia for babies and children
