Arkadi Zaides

September 2016
Project 22 / 38
next

Arkadi Zaides is an independent choreographer. Born in 1979 in ּBelorussia, former USSR, he immigrated to Israel in 1990 and currently lives in France. His works are politically motivated and deal with boundaries, both political and human in nature. He is increasingly working in diverse communities, focusing primarily on the Arab sector in Israel.

Context is an important part of Zaides’ practice, so the website is dense with information about each work, including articles from others in the field. Over time, the website gradually changes colour to create a slight sense of unease — a impression often given by Zaides’ own work.

This project is a collaboration with Atelier Carvalho Bernau
