Sheik Attack

In this video Eddo Stern combines Israeli pop songs from the late sixties -optimistic, nation-building songs- with violent, militaristic scenes from computer/video games, resulting in a vertiginous, thought-provoking spectacle. Rather than documenting a single instance of a single game, the video is cut together in a fast-paced cinematic style, forming a narrative that, while never quite cohering into a story, engages completely. By using decentering strategies he tries to re-situate the audiences in relation to pop culture spectacles.
