In Eye Contact Shai Zilberan and Uri Gershuni chose to present works that utilize a manual, analog, pre-digital collage technique. Paper, glue and scissors are tools, with which they create phantoms, imaginary (false) plots, and malicious scenarios.

A network of relations is revealed to the viewer: exchanged glances, courtship, chance meetings. Gershuni and Zilberman tell the story of the eye – eyes keep appearing, as a present organ, seeking a connection, or as missing, blind. Both  eyes into their art and nourish the eye contact with the viewer.
