After living for several years in New York, visual artist Satoshi Tsuchiyama realized that Israel is the world's hub for contemporary dance. His experiences working with both dance and Jewish artefacts fused together. During four visits to Israel and Palestine in 2017–19, he wandered in scorching sand and graffiti-filled streets, climbed to the collapsing top floor of the art school, and followed the desires of his eyes. The dancers he met came from all over the world but seemed to share the same mood, the same force that oozed out of the ground. He experienced a singular beauty in the raw, tough and vulnerable ordeal of perseverance and adaptation. Winner of Landskrona Foto & Breadfield Dummy Award 2020.
