Title: How to Hide Yourself Using Your Body

Duration: 4:03

Artwork Description: In this performance, the artist explores the different ways to hide their identity using nothing else but their body. The performance starts by sharing 9 different poses that an individual can do to hide their identity. It is followed by a practice session where the audience is invited to follow the movements displayed on the screen, just like following an online exercise video.

Special thanks to my mom, brother, and Shaked Gozlan for helping me navigate the production of the film.
