A box full of old slides was found in the street and started a journey into the past with one family's trip to Europ
and the holy-land in 1967.
Uncovering the atmosphere in Israel after the "6 Day War" triumph and the rising trend of tourism around Israel and abroad.
With more than 400 color slides, an intimate archive which uses nostalgic images of an anonymous non professional photographer and serves as a jumping point into contemporary photography and source material for painting.

Deconstructing the found slides in a cinematographic approach, with surgery blowups fragments revealing by standers who are caught by accidnet and become the main subject for abstraction and painting, exposing the thin line between documentation of the private and the political, raising questions about the past and the present through different mediums and display approaches.
