in the name of god, my Father I'll fly (2024)

video excerpt, one-channel loop, 10'20'', 2024

the video describes the tale of two drones that wanted to get close to the sun. The title relates to the belief in a predestined future, to the unescapable, predetermined order of occurrences. Mizrahi drew her inspiration from the mythological story of Daedalus and his son Icarus, who tried to escape a cruel predetermined fate using wings made of bird feathers connected to their body with beeswax. Daedalus warned his son of the sun, which could melt the beeswax if approached too closely, but Icarus yielded to temptation, and his tragic end was inevitable. Mizrahi joined a drone flight instructor and exact sciences students at Tel Aviv University in an attempt to re-examine the ending of the mythological tale. In her work, the drone that wanted to fly too close to the sun was faced by a force just as strong: CAAI - Civil Aviation Authority of Israel (Written by Assaf Hinden). watch video
