“O que se passa numa imagem?,” o cinema nos pergunta muitas vezes. “O que se passa na pessoa que olha uma imagem?,” o faz menos frequentemente. “O que se passa na pessoa que vê sua própria imagem enquanto olha para uma imagem?,” quase nunca. Pois estas três perguntas compõem o quebra-cabeças que o documentarista Alexandrowicz propõe para sua personagem, mas também para si mesmo e, mais decisivamente, para nós. Nesse jogo de espelhos deformadores, se veem refletidas as relações de poder entre Israel e Palestina, mas também entre uma câmera e aquilo que ela filma; entre um filme e aquele que o assiste.

At the heart of the Central Train Station in Tel Aviv stands a grand piano. It watches over the traffic moving to and from the docks, seemingly hearing and seeing everything from its own point of view. For some, the piano is a regular stop on their commute. Others, occasional travelers, encounter it in this unexpected space, inviting them, subject to their will. There, in the most bustling place is a piano that makes people take off their earphones and take part in something magical that requires no words. The piano is unplugged, the people unplug. How many of those who sit and play manage to transcend the external noise, reflecting in a different and challenging way the reality we live in, allowing us to look into ourselves?

This is one of the stories in which it is hard to believe. Shlomo Cohen-Abarbanel, an Israeli Mossad secret agent who worked undercover in Egypt managed to convince everybody that he was a French abstractionist painter Charduval - and even sold some of his works depicting naive and primitive scenes from the life of the mysterious East. He became the subject of this post-documentary film (one that is beyond the feature/documentary division), around which its director Tamir Zadok, who also appears in "Art Undercover", created an entire exhibition in the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 2018. Tamir travels to Cairo in order to find Charduval’s paintings that were sold to the Museum of Modern Egyptian Art, while also trying not to give his identity away. This way Zadok is also creating art undercover, brilliantly carrying on the tradition of artistic espionage, alternating documentary episodes with scenes that but imitate real-life footage. The film becomes a match to the subject it explores.
