Tali Liberman, Unrendered Road, 2020 film still

Today we encounter the world through the prism of seemingly neutral, digital apps owned by tech giants. Unrendered Road traces the route between two ancient cities: Jerusalem and Jericho. It is only 25.6 km long and takes 38 minutes by car. It even has a number: “Highway 1.” Yet this is a journey that Google Maps will not show you. By assembling conflicting perceptual readings, Tali Liberman questions the reliability of our systems of knowledge and is testament to a passage between real places and other spaces.
