Rust Guardian – video

Video description

A 3-second handheld clip of the rusted metal sculpture standing on the lawn in afternoon sun: branch-like uprights with a hooked tip, surrounded by large rusty hoops, against a blue sky and green trees. (no sound)

The main video plays automatically, on a loop and without sound. You can stop it at any time with the "Pause video" button or the player controls. If your device is set to "reduce motion", it will not start by itself.

Sculptures

Rust Guardian

A new sculpture, one of a pair. Four rusted, twisted metal hoops wrapped in layers of patina, and a stone from the sea. Remnants of time that carried the waves and the breath of the sand on their backs. I gathered them into a new form, and now they tell a different story.

  • The rusted metal sculpture from another angle, set on a grey metal plate with black legs in a garden: thin, crusted rods curve into large loops, a double upright rises to a curved crossbar at the top, and a long arm reaches down past the edge of the plate; behind it are a lawn, a brick path, a green hedge and a tree in red bloom
  • A tall standing sculpture of rusted, crusted metal on a lawn: branch-like uprights rise to a hooked tip, ringed by large rusty hoops that loop down to the grass, against a blue sky and green trees

The raw material

A video of raw materials before assembly. The same film also appears on the Rusty Memories page. The video does not play automatically and has no sound; a written description appears below it.

    Video description

    About 32 seconds, filmed in the workshop: rusted rods and supports, a long curved loop and branching pieces lie on a light-blue work table; a person handles the pieces. In the original soundtrack (the video on this site has no sound) the speaker says, among other things, “אלה החיזוקים … כולה חלודה … זה עגול” (these are the reinforcements … it is all rusted … this is round). The film shows raw materials before assembly, not a finished sculpture. (no sound)
