About work

This video features the artist herself, who masturbates while wearing a gas mask. This scene is interrupted by excerpts from a TV programme explaining how the gas mask is to be deployed in the event of a terrorist attack. Moyzes uses her body as a means to express her own feelings regarding political and social themes. The video was made in Israel in response to the political situation at that time and the way it was being reported in the media.
