Photography – Painting with Light
Martin Adin | Pyromania Creative
Productions | Israel
Smart flashlights and an interplay of light
and shadow produce a complex, varied, and
multilayered light painting which gradually reveals
itself to viewers. The painting remains in its final
state for a brief period, then dissolves, layer after
layer, turning the wall once again into a blank
canvas awaiting the creation of a new image.

Batei HaMachseh Square
A video extravaganza projected on a wall of the
Hurva synagogue, synchronized with a video
projected on a screen mounted on an industrial
robot arm. The robot’s movement synchronized
with the video creates a dance and gives rise to
an entire choreography that incorporates all
of the media.
Urban Poetry Stereoscopic
3D Video Mapping using 3D anaglyph glasses.
The installation takes place in the urban scenario
of a city where a mysterious character, one
dancer/traceur, is moving by Parkour using the
architectural elements of the building. The
struggle between the character and the city
produces scenes highly poetic mixing hard, urban
elements with natural ones.

An environmental sculpture that symbolizes both

When viewers move away and look at the work
from a distance, they see how everything can be
integrated to create beauty and co-existence.
In Kabbalah, the Tree of Life represents the
process and secrets of Creation.
Sometimes, in relation to the sephirot,
Rabbi Kook used the concept of light, which
underscores the spiritual dimension of the
sephirot and the process by which they unfold
and emanate from each other.

Universal Spin is a kinetic installation that self
regulates with the wind and generates a spinning
three-dimensional structure. A game of light,
shadows and sound.
The animation in FLORA is generated by sine
waves that travel through a string of lines. This
wave principle often appears in nature when
energy is transmitted through a medium like
air or water. It can also be observed in the
locomotion of animals, in which kinetic energy
is transmitted successively through joints.
