To me, the shift from an objective point of view outside of the scene to that of a subjective observer from within the scene, can be seen as the visual language analogue to Kant's Copernican revolution, and has been a major step in my visual thinking.\n\n\nTime for Synthesis\n\nIt is my belief that following the great historical shift from the old masters to a stage of rebellious antithesis in modern art, the next stage is a synthesis between the old painting values - such as major traditional cultural themes and figurativity, to modern values - such as innovative representation and subversive content. \n\nThe viewer is positioned both in the man's, the woman's and the snake's points-of-view in the Original Sin of sexuality, and sees conflicts from both sides, such as in the old and young brother\u2019s sides in the first murder. The viewer sees the father sacrificing his son from the perspectives of Abraham, Isaac, the saving angel and of the final sacrifice - the ram. They get seduced in bed by Potiphar's wife, sees themself blinded with a knife as Samson, and breaks god\u2019s tablets with fury as Moses. Thus, the viewer becomes the ever-changing hero of the mythical drama, finding themself in the shoes of murderers, saints, ancient prostitutes, prophets, spies and animals.","space":"Large Projection + (Possibly) Touch-Screen","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yNPkTiUMFMU","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":"http:\/\/www.paintingsequence.com\/full.html","cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":1,"names":"Eliyahu","surname":"Sefer","email":"ekhad.shtaim@gmail.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"04019644","address":"\u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05e9\u05dc\u05d9\u05dd","city":"Jerusalem","nacionality":"Israel","country_id":"112","birthdate":"1981-07-01T22:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1981-07-01T22:00:00.000Z","telephone":"972546822640","web":null}
