ProlongGone
2011, 8'50"
​
ProlongGone created by Gabriel Klasmer & Shira Klasmer was first commissioned as a 360 degree video art for Ron Arad’s ‘Curtain Call’ instillation at the Roundhouse, London in August 2011. In 2012 it was installed at the Israel museum as part of Ron Arad 720° as part of Jerusalem Cultural season, and in 2016 at the Singapore International Festival of Art (SIFA), Singapore.
​
ProlongGone was part of an instillation. The work was projected onto a 360 degree screen made of 6500 silicon rods suspended from a height of 8 meters. Projection could be seen from inside and outside the circle, and the audience could interact with the screen, and in turn with the video-art.

This is Screen 1 from a two screen installation of 'Out of thin air'. 3D Anaglyph (red and cyan glasses needed) - intended for gallery installation as two separate screens. This is the third collaboration between Gabriel Klasmer and Shira Klasmer, This video is in reference to sculpture; the fragility, materiality and sense of volume. Out of darkness objects appear, caught by the flash of light, not as images but as realities, as presences of what only exists, in the imaginary field of vision between the left and right eye.
