Nimrod Alexander Gershoni returns to the Autumn Cult with a new premiere. Following the endless plunge of his work A-Hole (Night to Forget, Autumn Cult 2022), Gershoni positions himself in a near-future dystopia, continuing his exploration of the human condition, as he is stuck in a single action that stretches infinitely. The suspension of time and the elongation of the situation evoke a sense of the uncanny—an aspect he investigates in his works.
At the center of the fragmented narrative of Terminator is a pair of puppets—loving figures—trapped in a surreal roller coaster designed as a fishing boat. It races through a loop into infinity, moving at a chilling speed while remaining stationary. In this paradoxical, artificial world, the most natural conditions for debates and discussions about love, time, and existence are created. The result is a portrait of fragile identity swirling in a vortex of time, radiating the light of a poetic yet morbid realm.
Nimrod Alexander Gershoni is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in performance, video, and installation art. His work navigates the audio-visual space. In his investigation of the uncanny, he blends live experiences with mediated media, crafting a stunning and dark world of images and sound. Gershoni challenges the boundaries of perception through manipulations of scale and real-time video synthesis. His works have been exhibited in prominent institutions such as the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the Contemporary Art Center in Tel Aviv, and HaZira Theatre in Jerusalem. His creations delve into themes of time, identity, and human relationships, resulting in immersive and thought-provoking performances that blur the line between reality and abstraction.
