Tel Aviv artist Noga Erez returns with another meaningful song and video entitled ‘Pity’. Inspired by a sexual assault case in which is was recorded by many witnesses, the Zhang & Knight-directed video features Erez performing the song whilst surrounded by cameras and tv screens behind her displaying multiple angles.
Touching on the video Noga Erez wrote:
“This is the second time we had a chance to work on a video with talented directors ‘Zhang + Knight’. For them, as for us, the horrifying story was extremely powerful and chilling. We decided to focus on the video/documenting angle, isolating it from the rest of the story. Creating a performance based video, shooting me from many different camera angles, while playing the footage live on screens behind me. Displaying how quickly and easily video documentation becomes shared, publicised and distorted. Many times, it’s done so without the person’s knowledge, consent and without accountability.”
