Proximity Relations, an installation incorporating sculpture and video, deals with digitising the ruins of the Wadi Salib neighbourhood - turning the buildings and the archive into data. Five video screens describe movement through the site and the archive, as well as through various representations of the data - from computer language to 3D simulation. Two houses are revealed as central elements in the archive - the Abu Hatzera house, owned by the Renault family until 1948, and became a synagogue in the 1950s. Up the stairs, the Beit Karaman complex is a modern villa. The movement between these two houses is between different historical narratives about Wadi Salib.
