Israeli “soldiers” describing their last moments in the battle, just before their own death. This is the ultimate soldier fantasy: dying in a battle, becoming a hero, and finally being interviewed about it. But in this battle, they use bullets made of compressed ceramic powder (to simulate as a game) instead of real ones. The work creates a hyper-reality in which soldiers can describe their own deaths, and shape the myth of their bravery according to a well-known model shaped by the myth of self-sacrifice that is at the core of Israeli narrative. The soldiers telling the happenings of their own deaths allows for a new, improved version of this myth, given from a first-hand witness.
