"Created especially for the collection gallery of Petach Tikva Museum, and with a carefully chosen selection of sculptures from early zionist days, Rodeh created a total audio-visual scenery using theatrical effects, using dynamic light projections that blur the materiality of the massive modernist figures. Samples from Bird of Prey by Jim Morrison reinforces the cultural clash between entertainment and commemoration, indicating the project's intention to introduce a wide spectrum of interpretations for refined, quintessential mindsets and motifs in the subconscious of local culture." —Irit Carmon Popper
