Ohad Fishof, Abduction, 2010, video still, 8:50 min.
Hoon is an ambitious trilogy of works developed by Ohad Fishof. It consists of a series of works in a variety of media that portray the characters, institutions, and events of an imaginary place called Hoon. In Abduction, the second part of the trilogy, Fishof uses the common narrative of an alien abduction in reverse: this time, it is a human that abducts the aliens, creating a mind-bending story of a quasi emotional relationship. Abduction is based on a short story written by Fishof, with the English version of the piece narrated by the late dance teacher and choreographer Vera (Vicky) J. Blaine.
