About

In their video performance Salt Dinner, we see the two artists sharing a meal in the Dead Sea. They hand each other water-soaked food, drink wine, break bread—always careful to maintain balance and not to be carried away by the waves. It is an exhausting process that exposes them to excessive salt intake and the burning sun. An ironic metaphor for religious rituals and the presence of death in the midst of life.
