Landau finds inspiration not just in the physicality of the Dead Sea, but in the culture surrounding it. Salt Bride, for example, not only takes on the properties of the sea salt, but is an exploration of the character Leah in Yiddish playwrite S. Ansky's The Dybbuk. “Over the years, I learnt more and more about this low and strange place," Landau says. "Still the magic is there waiting for us: new experiments, ideas and understandings. It is like meeting with a different time system, a different logic, another planet. It looks like snow, like sugar, like death’s embrace; solid tears, like a white surrender to fire and water combined.” Now Landau is working on a concept for a monumental bridge that would connect the Israeli and Jordanian sides of the Dead Sea.A photo posted by Francesco Dama Zini (@bild_er) on
