Acclaimed Israeli photographer Ziv Koren and poet Noam Horev combine images, film, music and artifacts in an immersive tribute to Israel’s pain and resilience after the Hamas attacks.
“We Shall Rise,” an immersive art installation created by acclaimed Israeli photographer Ziv Koren and poet Noam Horev, offers visitors a powerful multimedia journey through the Hamas terrorist attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, and the country’s resilience in the years since.
Housed in a 500-square-yard space on the rooftop of Tel Aviv’s Azrieli Mall, the exhibition combines photography, video, music, narration and artifacts in an experience designed to help Israelis and visitors alike process the trauma of the attacks and their aftermath.
The tour showcases 11 large-scale installations and lasts approximately 45 minutes. Visitors receive a headset with narration in Hebrew or English before moving through eight themed installations, each featuring a three- to four-minute audiovisual presentation.
The first installation, “A Gray Sunrise,” depicts the devastation in Gaza border communities overrun by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7. Burned children’s toys, bicycles and homes accompany the words of the mourners’ Kaddish, which gradually assemble across the screen.
