Stretching the Memorial is a fax installation done in a state burocratic office which was abandoned in year 2000 remaining untoched till today. The whole wall designed by the clerk (posters of politicians, drawings, maps...) was copyed by fax stretching the original. A new wall, a memorial of the office was built. A memorial which was - because of the nature of the thermal paper - destined to dissapear before the original clerk's office.
The SALA-MANCA GROUP is a group of independent Jerusalem-based artists that creates in different fields: performance, video, installation & new media since 2000. Sala-manca’s works deal with poetics of translation (cultural, mediatic and social), with textual, urban and net contexts and with the tensions between low tech and high tech aesthetics, as well as social and political issues.
