The "Twilight Zone" exhibition seeks to draw our attention to the situation of refugees in Israel, referring to the issues of crossing borders, international rights, the lack of rights and neglect. This exhibition is an attempt to mark the pain inherent in the carnival known as "the State". Ethical questions regarding appropriation, impersonation, paternalism and colonialism characterize the artistic discourse today in its preoccupation with the question of refugees and immigration in particular, and the human pain of marginalized groups in general.

The phenomenon of immigration and refugees in the world can no longer be ignored or minimized, and it can be referred to, in a way, as the "refugee revolution"; A quiet revolution perhaps, but one that profoundly changes the human textures within a country. In Israel, the migration revolution challenges the demographic self-perception of Israel as the Jewish state. It is this concept that enables the exclusion from the junctures of power and visibility of any other identity that is not compatible with the one defined as Jewish by the dominant ideology.

The exhibiting Israeli artists, Jews and Arabs, try to tell, reveal, and mediate the feeling that it isn't really possible to understand the other and his/her pain. However, even if the knowledge of the other is not possible - recognition and appreciation, learning and compassion, together with the development of joint strategies of resistance and mutual respect, are needed today more than ever.
