Website: Nurith Aviv
'The
collaboration between Ruth Beckermann and Nurith Aviv over three films shows how
much the creative documentary genre depends on constant communication between
spontaneous mise en scène and intuitive camerawork. This complicity allows a
complex montage of image and language. Nurith Aviv manages to capture the dramatization
within even the tiniest events and frames with such precision that
the framing itself concentrates multi-layered meaning. Whether it be cutting down
trees in the Romanian countryside evoking the period of early industrialization ['The Paper Bridge'] or the ritual of a young Egyptian bride putting the final
touches on her dress as she gets ready for the photographer ['A Fleeting Passage
to the Orient'], a social situation is expressed through figurative framing. In
'A Fleeting Passage to the Orient', Nurith Aviv perfects her art of the camera which
bears a distant, yet nevertheless insistent point of view, expressed through
framing but also changes of focal length, tracking shots or other camera
movements. The
form of this way of looking creates a truly fictional originality, an imaginary
terrain favorable to the digressions of the narration evoking Egypt as a
European projection.' [Christa Blümlinger, August 2000.]
