(ARTS) Through A Glass, Darkly

"Israelis often feel they live in a glass house, the world scrutinizing their every move.

Two Israeli artists have brought the metaphor to life in San Francisco with 'The Glasshouse,' an evocative and brave performance piece that dramatizes the lack of privacy in today’s world, particularly in Israel.

Lital Dotan and Eyal Perry live 24/7 in a gallery space on one of the city’s busiest downtown streets, inviting passers-by to watch them at any hour of the day or night. Yup, no shades on those big plate-glass windows.

You can see their bed, and even spend the night with them (advance reservations only). Their clothing hangs from wires suspended in the middle of the room."
