Eye of Beholder — עין המתבונן

Eye of Beholder (EoB) is an installation by Nimrod Kerrett that participates in a group exhibition at The Refrigerator Gallery (Tel-Aviv) from October 30th 2025 to January 16th 2026.

More than 270 journalists were killed in Gaza since Oct 7th 2023.

The war in Gaza has, since October 7, 2023, killed more journalists than the U.S. Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (including the conflicts in Cambodia and Laos), the wars in Yugoslavia in the 1990s and 2000s, and the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan, combined — Nick Turse, Brown University

When foreign journalists aren't allowed into Gaza, the only way to get information out is via local journalists. In order to hide its war crimes, all the Israeli regime needs to do is kill them and claim retroactively that they were terrorists.

This is a work about the war on truth and its martyrs.


 

The installation (demo)

This work involves a TV display and a distance sensor.

  • When far from the screen, we see videos describing Gazan reporters who were killed by IDF (interviews with them, footage of them reporting, and/or documentation of the attack that killed them). At the bottom we can see a blurred text ticker.
  • The closer we get to the screen, the video becomes more blurred and the ticker becomes more focused. The ticker is in Hebrew and quotes Israeli media claiming the slain reporters were terrorists.
  • Once the video ends, we continue with different videos, showing other reporters, each with a new Hebrew ticker that allegedly justifies the killing of whoever the video describes.

Thanks to Neora — my partner in life and creativity — for the inputs and the encouragement.
