אי
מיצב אודיו-ויזואלי
אי הינו מיצב אודיו-ויזואלי המציג אלטרנטיבה אוטופית לצמתי מריבה בנאליים על ידי עיבוד חוזר של המציאות המוכרת. האי (הירושלמי) מתקיים כהזייה אי רציונלית, כתשוקה דיוניסית לפיוס או להכרעה ומציג את הווית העיר כמרחב בודד עם חוקים משלו הנוצרים דווקא מתוך הניגודים והסתירות הקיימים בה.
Island is an audio-visual installation exhibiting a utopian alternative to banal dispute intersections by re-processing the familiar reality. The (Jerusalemite) island exists as an irrational hallucination, a dionysiac lust for appeasement or ruling and presents the city as being an isolated space made by its own rules, being created specifically out of inner oppositions and contradictions.

Duprass (video artist - liora belford and sound artist - ido govrin) use and program several tools to produce and investigate audio-visual art in the form of live performances, cross media installations, video/sound art and studio work. Their creation of art is strongly leaning to the aesthetics of minimalism, abstraction, restrained gestures and compassion. Duprass introduces utopian art arenas where experimentalism is the core issue to the continuous human investigation of the (hyper) real world.
