In this collection, Maya Zack offers a perspective on drawing as both an artistic medium and a source of inspiration for video art. In the selected films, drawing is not merely a tool for documentation, but an independent expressive language that reflects on itself, its process, and the creative forces it embodies. The films trace the act of drawing, reconstruct the motion of the drawing hand, or present new interpretations of well-known works. Through the eye of the camera, the material dimension of drawing is emphasized, revealing a medium often considered fragile as one of deep, dramatic creative power and transformative potential.

Maya Zack is an artist, filmmaker, and senior lecturer at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. Her works have been exhibited in museums, galleries, and film festivals in Israel and internationally, and are held in prominent public and private collections.
