2014
Safe and Sound was first presented as a solo show at Künstlehrhaus Bethanien, Berlin, and later at Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, Israel, curated by Aya Lurie, both in 2014. A scaled-down iteration of the work is currently on show at Kunstbrücke am Wildenbruch, Berlin.
“[..] In the show, Rodeh highlights the trialectical manipulation of space, sound, and light, as seen from the other side of the clubbing culture. Clubbing has never been so regulated and approved by authorities as it is today. In its original form, it is an act of defiance. An act of battling oversight. From the original Berlin ballrooms, through rave parties, through the darkened cellars of Techno, the clubbing experience of opposition and freedom, of release, is only complete when the darkness transforms to the blindness of daylight.“ —Gilly Karjevsky
