Between the Suns (2017)

Installation: Moving image projection, black and green wooden panels, holographic screen, and speaker, 3:49 minutes, looping.

Between the Suns communicates with the Jewish-philosophical concept of Bein HaShmashot, a mystical commentary describing the twilight span from sunset until three medium‑bright stars become visible. Beyond being a natural time interval, it represents metaphysical ideas of thresholds—between sacred and profane, certainty and doubt, order and chaos—while raising essential questions about the meaning of now, the nature of time, and the universe. A parallel threshold appears in The Sacred and the Profane (1957) by philosopher Mircea Eliade, who coined the term hierophany to describe any object, space, or event in which the sacred reveals itself within ordinary reality—a burning bush, a holy stone, a ritual gesture—momentarily collapsing the divide between transcendence and daily life.

Drawing inspiration from both concepts, Hierophany and Bein HaShmashot create a convergence that embodies the manifestation of the sacred and profane as intertwined modes of being in the world.

The single‑channel moving‑image projection unfolds in three successive parts that loop continuously, passing through rotating holographic film paper and onto green and black wooden panels. The multicoded ritual becomes visible through light, bodily gestures, landscape, and geometric symbols, becoming a vehicle for the liminal passage between the sacred and the profane.
