Creator’s Manifesto
2010–2011

Drawing installation

Slide projection of photographed drawings following the last chapters of the Book of Job.





Creator’s Manifesto is a drawing-based slide installation that follows God’s speech at the end of the Book of Job (chapters 38–39). The work presents a sequence of photographed drawings as a projection: each image corresponds to a verse, translating the text’s allegorical language into direct visual form.




Presentations



Tent Gallery, Rotterdam — The first presentation used a single projection facing a desk and an executive chair. Behind them, a small installation titled The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters (after Goya) featured suspended books and headphones; candle wax dripped to the floor to simulate faeces.


Yaffo23, Jerusalem — The second presentation was staged with a bench and a TV monitor showing the original Hebrew text scrolling in sync with the English in the slides. An additional 40 slides (covering chapter 39) were added and projected alongside the original set, bringing the total to 110 slides across two projectors.
