“RoundAbout Tel-Aviv” deals with a society which cannot seem to reproduce anything but its own rituals and motions. The artificial landscape Pereg is reconstructing easily refers back to a Utopian starting position. The fragile relationships which Pereg contracts in this work, are disturbed by the use of a computer animated helicopter. The introduction of this element, which barges into the "real" surface of the work, brings with it a historical and politically familiar and relevant content. But this "threat" goes unnoticed, and the machine of social events, keeps moving in its circular movement, presenting this constructed model, as an impossible reality, driven both by hi-tech as well as by an archaic wish for destruction.
