Historical research and curation: Irit Carmon Popper

Proximity Relations examines the digital transformation of Wadi Salib's ruins. The site and archive are described through five videos,  representing a range from archival fragments to architectural ruins to simulations. Two houses are revealed in the archive as central elements - the Renault house, owned by the family until 1948, and a synagogue in the 1950s. On the other side of the stairs is a modern villa called the Qaraman complex. Between these two houses, there is a movement between different historical perceptions of the site and the archive.
