I'm good at love, I'm good at hate, it's in between I freeze
Michael Rakowitz
This artistic work takes the form of a video shot at the Alhambra Hotel in Ramallah, around a concert that never took place. In 2009, Leonard Cohen was scheduled to perform in Israel. Faced with growing pressure from pro-Palestinian voices, a parallel concert was announced in Palestine. But it was quickly denounced as a symbolic gesture, a hollow attempt to appease the anger of the protesters. The boycott took hold and the concert was canceled.
Through this narrative, the project questions how art confronts politics, the ethical dilemmas of artists caught in boycott logics, and the cultural memories of Palestine and Israel. In the space between love and hate, where Cohen confessed to "freezing," a fragile cartography of the tensions between creation and responsibility emerges. A work that questions the artist's place in the face of History and the fractures of their time.
