Block of Clay

Block of Clay is a short video by artist Roey Victoria Heifetz and filmmaker Zohar Melinek Ezra. In her monologue, Roey Victoria talks about feelings of alienation from her own body, and the many years of not admitting her true gender. She reveals herself to the camera, while in the process of gender transition. The viewer’s gaze moves around her body from different angles, closer and farther away, showing all the flaws and weaknesses of the body.

The film is part of Field Hospital X, a project by artist Prof. Aya Ben Ron, presented at the Israeli Pavilion of the 58th Venice Biennale.
