Japón / Japan 00 21 20 

by David Wapner&Ana Camusso

Noon, a dark room of a ground floor apartment in Arad (Israel). A window that opens to a path inside the building. From there comes the sunshine, but indirectly.
A red bowl resting on the window lintel.

A Netbook computer resting on a small table with his camera focused on the window, records the scene: images and sounds possible.

In Japan, three days after the earthquake, struggling to avert a nuclear catastrophe.

And in Egypt, an strong  popular movement- get strong in Tahir Square- calls for the resignation of  Mubarak dictatorship,  and the immediate call for free elections.
A transistor radio tuned, alternating (cross waves, which interfere with each other) radios Israelis and Arabs, eventualnente Jordanian, Palestinian and Egyptian.
At one point, a station broadcasts from Cairo, Tahir Plaza directs. The phone rings, someone answers  Meanwhile, the sun's rays are manifested in the room.
Flying insects and micro-stars appear erratic. Every second, the expression of the light changes. Goes through the red basin, then overflows, is confused with it, disappears, and make everything invisible, reaching an apotheosis. The webcam contributes to the low resolution of the sensor (1.3 megapixels), to enhance in the video those optical phenomena which are expressed through distortion and glare.  

Cats come and go over and over again through the window, through the explosion of light, apparently inmuned to them, indifferent to any change.When the sun slips out of the room, the red bowl reappears.

The camera recorded the entire process in real time, post-editing for this version reduced this entire process to half of it.
