Emergency/Routine

Illustrated installation

An interactive comic installation exploring the tiny details compiling the emergency routine of one ordinary building in an ordinary city in Israel.
On ordinary days, each apartment in the building functions within its own world. There’s no need to know the neighbors or interact with them regularly. The emergency routine, imposed on all the residents, becomes an opportunity to glimpse into the lives of those in the neighboring apartments — who are the neighbors? Who goes down with them to the shelter during every alarm? What are they wearing?
Meanwhile, the building and the urban nature around it continue on as usual—the flowers bloom, the cats dig through the dumpsters, and the TV keeps broadcasting.
