CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo will present 'From the Archive' from September 3 to September 5, 2026, drawing on a 2009 archival video work by Hulul Lulu Lin Perah titled 'In the Path of Her Shadow'. The presentation is part of the centre’s video archive programming and is described by the institution as a single work from its archive, shown over a short run in Tel Aviv-Yafo.
According to the source text, the work is one in a series of videos that Lin Perah began making in the 1990s, in which a performative action is carried out in front of the camera, often using her own body. The series links joy and pain, seduction and resistance, and is marked by surrealist imagery and political symbolism. In 'In the Path of Her Shadow', the artist binds an exaggerated female hand to a stone identified as a symbol of uprising, replacing the threat of throwing with a clenched fist that becomes a weight not easily shed.
The soundtrack includes passages from 'The Ride of the Valkyries' from Richard Wagner’s opera 'Die Walküre'. The source notes that Wagner’s music has been informally boycotted in Israel, while the same passage has also circulated widely in global popular culture, including a prominent use in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 film 'Apocalypse Now'. The page sets out those references as part of the interpretive frame for the work, rather than as separate claims about the artist’s intention.
The work also appears under a revised title in this presentation: its original title was 'Bilasham (Without Vow)', and it is shown here as 'Bilasham (ha_hadar)'. The archive entry lists the video as 8 minutes and 48 seconds long, and gives the credits as: photography by Nili Atslan, editing by Guy Levy, with thanks to Nukh Nefkad Farah Kfar Bir'im.
CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo describes itself as a non-profit institution and uses the Rachel and Israel Pollak Gallery on Zadok HaCohen Street in Tel Aviv-Yafo for its exhibitions and related programming. The archive page places 'From the Archive' within the centre’s regular visiting hours and ticketed framework, with entry listed at 20 shekels.
The archive presentation sits alongside other late-summer programming on the CCA site, but the source material keeps this video work distinct from the other listed exhibitions and events. For 'From the Archive', the verified dates are September 3 through September 5, 2026, at CCA Tel Aviv-Yafo in Tel Aviv-Yafo.
