Experiencing Interruptions?

Orly Aviv - "Shut Up & Sit Down"

At 2013, I was invited to Camaguey Cuba to participate in a video art festival. I was very curious about the country and especially enthusiastic to meet the people. I wanted to go beyond the “awesome touristic show”. I was hoping to mingle with the locals, to stay at their homes to see their real everyday life. The video art "Shut Up & Sit Down”, reflect my impressions from 3 weeks bizarre experience I had.

Director Statement

Orly Aviv is a visual multidisciplinary Israeli artist, whose works are strongly entangled with the mighty world of digital media. Her out-of-the-box, often revolutionary, creative vision of Aviv relies on her extensive academic background in science, art, and technology. Her artistic journey is marked by contemporary, investigating, and challenging creation.
Aviv is an explorer of Nature. During her multiple travels within her homeland and abroad, she is in a constant search for the magic of discovery. With the aim of empowering and repeating the experience, the artist documents the scene exactly as discovered, in its time and space, without intervention. The images are rich in color, beauty, sensuality, movement, and rhythm. They share the artist's deep emotional sense of amazement in the face of the wonders of the world.
Orly Aviv explores social issues and especially positive sustainability. This school of thought encourages the demonstration of the beautiful and the good as a motivational tool for environmental preservation.
Aviv's artworks are seen internationally and won many prizes.
