Stop-motion animation, 2-channel video, 3:00 min. Geluid: Ido Alhassid.
The inspiration for these two stop-motion works came from poems by Yiddish poets Jacob Glatstein and Celia Dropkin who were also foreign-born artists, living and working in New York, like Danielle. The works aim to give the viewer the experience of leafing through a collection of poems - an embodiment of the experience of reading through a book of poems, as if looking for an answer, or a voice or a figure with which to identify. The stopmotion “My Hands” is based on a poem by Celia Dropkin with the same title and investigates the experience of NYC through the experience of the body and of sexual desire . "A Tiny Dot" , is inspired by Jacob Glatsteins‘ poem ”1919“, which deals with the experience of settling in a new landscape and with the encounter with the plasticity of life in a city.
