Literally speaking HETEROTOPIA is defined as the "˜other' space: an underlying layer beyond reality "“an ultimate space of meaning behind the world of appearances and definitions. Fouceault's Heterotopia is the point where Utopia meets reality and does not refer solely to a specific physical geographical space, but rather to a space of underlying relationships of culture and power, which determine contemporary societies.
Similarly, Soja refers to the third space as the space of experience; in Italo Calvino's words it is a world of interactions and allegoric interwoven threads, which ""¦mark relationships of blood, trade, authority, agency etc"¦" that keep a city's life together.
Through "HETEROTOPIA" I want to raise questions about relationships of culture, power and authority in contemporary Israel
