On
Tel Aviv beach grey polystyrene mattresses made to look like
part of security fence are displayed .
While
the display may look like concrete, it's made out of polystyrene and it
floats.
"We placed it on the beach, just between Tel Aviv and Jaffa and it
looks just like a section of the security fence. It's a little over
seven feet high and 19 feet long."

"We
deliberately did it on the last day of the summer vacation. People
could deposit their ID and get one of the mattresses for half an hour" .
"People
kept asking if the display was 'for us or against us' and kept feeling
the mattresses, because they thought they were concrete."
"The display, also comments on beachfront real estate, which
is a wall in a way, since it blocks the sea. It also illustrates
the absurd reality here, when all you want to do is relax on
the beach, but you can't ignore what's going on around you. " S.F.
