This video installation project is based on a promotional video by Bayer AG, from 1987. The original Bayer video, which explains the various pest extermination methods, emphasizing the tradition that Bayer has in this field (After WW2, IG Farben, which produced the Zykon B gas for the extermination camps, was split up into other companies, one of them is Bayer).
Yael Bedarshi discovered this video and re-edited it into a 3 screen video installation in a dark room. The installation, titled "The Cockroaches", was shown at the exhibition Burnt Whole - art after the Holoacust, 1993 (curator: Karen Holtzman, WPA in Washington DC, and ICA Boston). It was also shown at the Martin Grupius Bau Museum, Berlin, in 1992 (as a part of the exhibition "7 Juedische Kuenstler in Berlin").
This split-screen video is a 2 dimentional documentation of the video channels.
