Riot

Riot — Plot

Tamara Moyzes graduated from the New Media Studio in 2005 with this project consisting of a three-channel video installation, for which she received the award for the best thesis project of the year at the Academy of Fine Arts. She later edited the triptych into a kind of promo video, which highlights her central theme as an artist, namely the sexualization of violence in a political context. The protagonist of the film is Liad, a twenty-six-year-old Jewish citizen of Israel who studies Middle Eastern political science and also makes a living as a dominatrix. Due to her political beliefs and free thinking with regard to sexuality, she often finds herself in conflict with the laws of her own country.
