Open Bag, is an ongoing series of performances with bag, done in collaboration with Danielle Itzhaqi. Similar to invisible theatre, the motivation behind the work is to pull the viewer into the artwork; first as a spectator, watching the performance from above, then through the video which is suggesting what is going on inside, and finally by experiencing through own body. The gap between what's happening on the inside of the bag and on the outside reflects the usual gap between a viewer and an art piece.
