Composed of densely atmospheric and highly stylized recycled commercial footage of young, picture perfect models pleasurably applying personal hygiene and cosmetic products in a quick cut montage of disembodied, glistening skins, hairs, hands, and lips, juxtaposed against the sensual application of assorted foams, lotions, waxes, and creams, these carefully constructed, plastic images begin to fade, speckle, crack, distort, and burn with the material deterioration of the celluloid itself, before being reduced to the stark whiteness - and unadulterated purity - of an empty projection.

“The Vanished” was a full-length feature film produced nearly twenty years ago by the IDF Spokesperson’s Film Unit. It was an exceptionally ambitious and elaborate production, with an estimated budget of around one million dollars. The IDF invested generous resources—hundreds of extras, tanks, helicopters, and more were made available—and some of Israel’s top film professionals joined (or were enlisted) to take part in its creation.
