The photographs were taken in August 2002, during a visit to the artist\u2019s childhood town. The conversations were recorded only later, upon returning to Jerusalem. Pleasantvale is a housing project for retired residents.<br \/>\nThis little community is something of an anomaly with its stuccoed exteriors and manicured lawns divided by narrow concrete walkways.<br \/>\nIt appears to the outsider a bubble of serenity frozen in time. Pleasantvale, emblematic of a more distant decade, here facilitates an imagined escape.<br \/>\nDespite the tangibility of place and the very real relationships developed between the artist and the residents, an aftertaste of illusion dominates the works.<br \/>\nNostalgia plays an important role here \u2013 it is expressed in an almost desperate attempt to appropriate a missing past or a lost reality.<br \/>\nIn this particular instance, nostalgia is not a past that has been experienced (by the artist) but rather the past as imagined or idealized through memory and desire.<br \/>\nPleasantvale seems more distant and stranger than ever, and the ensuing conversations finalize the dissonance.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1221,"template":"","categories":[204],"artists":[1077],"exhibition":[1078],"curator":[],"years":[453],"class_list":["post-1943","exhibitions","type-exhibitions","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solo-exhibitions","artists-daniel-melanie","exhibition-pleasantvale","years-2003-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibitions\/1943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibitions"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibitions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1943"},{"taxonomy":"artists","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artists?post=1943"},{"taxonomy":"exhibition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition?post=1943"},{"taxonomy":"curator","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/curator?post=1943"},{"taxonomy":"years","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/art.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/years?post=1943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
