Yae\u0308l directed two feature documentary films, Not for Sale (2002) and The Rabbi\u2019s 12 children (2007).
\nThese days she is working on short formats pocket films, under the title \u201cZeitlos\u201d- beyond of time, timeless- stemming from her praxis as film editor. The pocket films are designed to be projected on various surfaces and screens in installation spaces. They deal with the nature and perception and cognition, attention and memory, time and erasure, narrativity and representation, language and silence. In a world involving relentless exposure to a barrage of manipulated images and edited content that hijack our attention, circumscribe our thoughts and emotions and redefine our cognition, can we reclaim an ontological language beyond the literal expression of our human stories? What kinds of images are necessary to develop and display in a world saturated with visuality and visibility?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":7311,"template":"","class_list":["post-7310","team","type-team","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nYa\u00ebl
