Maayan Mozes Platnic | Mozes

The video shows the artist running strenuously in circles in an Olympic stadium. The work frames protest as a long-distance run demanding steadfast commitment. The running outfit, created specifically for this work, is not a commercial product but a deliberate choice with symbolic weight. Like the T-shirts and signs associated with civic movements, it marks belonging and enables action. In the background, children's voices periodically call out "Mozes" – the artist's family name and the work's title. The name evokes the biblical Moses, chosen to lead his people but denied entry to the promised land. The title, sound, and effort echo the fear accompanying ongoing protests – that they will not deliver.
