Bettina Bach has built her own universal in which the description "wordless" is of great importance. Her world is made out of harmony and peace of mind where every verbal or textual description would harm the complex-intimate atmosphere she creates. (Actual Art, Jan. 2003). The objects that Bettina Bach uses are "simple everyday things found on the street, at the bottom of drawers, the last threads off the spool. Leftovers from the market, from around the house, the remains of memory and existence". (Alissa Walser, Collagene Fragmente). The composition of all elements creates an atmosphere of reminiscence. The concrete transform to something volatile, elusive. Bach is fascinated by unexpected situations which results are surprising. By unplanned process she creates a "world" full of associations; the components of installation are unified, consolidated and directed by the nature of the space.

Part 1. The resembling people ceremony

This is the first part of a video trilogy that describes the preparations and the time before the ceremony.

The whole project is metaphor of Tel Aviv City – known as "the first Hebrew city" and the Zionistic case as a whole.
A metaphor of a society that lives by the sea but ignores the sea and its potential.
A society that lives detached from its surroundings.

The next two parts of the trilogy, will deal with the ceremony itself, which is symbolic to the rebuilding of a society after a great disaster.
The recovery of the society in our story is evident by the celebration of the resembling people ceremony.
The visual resemblance of the people invited to the ceremony, implies the genetic potential – of producing a new society.
