Mary Ocher - The Endlessness (Song for Young Xenophobes)
Video by Mary Ocher / Camera by Yoav Tal and Tomster.
Images of guns appear in Israeli society everywhere,
all the time, they are as visible on the street as mothers with
baby-strollers and advertisements, and as such, they become
invisible. Their prevalence makes you numb, as much as to
the weapons themselves as to uniforms. It is only outside of
that realm that you realize how discomforting such reality is,
the guns are a reminder of the constant presence of violence.
In a militarist society, guns are associated with vitality,
sexuality, strength, one's ability to defend oneself, as much as
to assert their dominance over another. The hinted violence is
glorified and the myth of the soldier is taught to young children
in elementary schools.
A soldier depraved of a gun is a sissy. It is interesting to see
how the phallic concept extends to female combatants, where
the gun assumes a new role; a tool for emasculation?
Predominantly in the hands of 18-20 year-olds, as well as security staff and guards. They are everywhere whether you care to stop and notice or not.
