Evron and Krieger invited a group of kibbutz members to recite the 26 verses of the poem "Rehearsing the Spectacle of Spectres" by kibbutz poet Anadad Eldan (b. 1924). These sequences are combined with interior and exterior shots from Be'eri, showing places of collective community that had shaped life in the kibbutz until October 7, with a presently unclear future.

This is complemented by “Performing the Kibbutz” (2014), a film montage by the two artists compiling archive footage of the kibbutz movement from the years 1937-1988, showing public events, ceremonies and daily life in the kibbutz.

Nir Evron (b.1974, Herzliya, lives and works in Tel Aviv and Berlin) is known for his provocative meditations on the construction of political and social histories. He works across photography, video, and film, and examines specific artifacts such as derelict monuments, historic buildings, found photographs, and borrowed biographies. Evron’s works are often hybrids, combining historical documents with medial inquiries, bringing forward the structures that shape history and the media used for its representation. Evron has exhibited extensively in museums, festivals, biennales and galleries among them are: solo shows at the Jewish Museum, Berlin, The Tel Aviv Museum of Art, ICA in Richmond, Virginia and LAXART in Los Angeles. He has exhibited at the New Museum, New York, The photography Museum in Antwerp, Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin and the Berlin Biennial. His works were screened at the Oberhausen Short-Film Festival, Rotterdam Documentary Film Festival to name a few. He is a part-time professor at the Photography Department in Bezalel Academy of Art and Design.
