“Vered Aharonovitch's major installation, marks the peak of her ongoing
preoccupation with those mental and psychological processes, society's powerrelations and
the delicate dialectics that range from revenge to reconciliation.
It also marks the completion of a cycle: all the characters and all of the artists' emotions and
expressive means are fused together now in order to create this fantasy of heroism. Although
reminiscent of the Baroque victory fountains that adorn the capitals of Europe, it is boldly
and reversely contemporary, as this time the girls are the victorious ones, having defeated
the only male in the scene...”
