In defense of shitty art by Natali Cohen Vaxberg

Somebody in one of the high windows got his/her panties in a twist because an itty bitty self-defined "artist", named Natali Cohen Vaxberg, a necessary part of the Israeli bohemian circles, decided to document for posterity (no pun intended) her multiple bowel movements.


Shit instead of blood from Yael Alon on Vimeo.

Since the results of these BMs are delivered on various national flags, including the Israeli one, our police was steered in that direction.

Natali Cohen Vaxberg, an actress affiliated with the extreme left, will be investigated in the coming days on suspicion of desecrating Israel’s national symbols and state flag.

A spokeswoman for the Tel Aviv District of the Israel Police said that while Israel was deeply committed to upholding the right to free speech, Vaxberg’s contentious act deeply insulted the public and directly clashed with other values deemed highly important to the Israeli people, the Haaretz daily reported.
Yeah... "deeply committed" and "deeply insulted". That's deep indeed.

First of all I would like to point out a technical issue with our valiant best and finest's involvement: since the above mentioned excrement was placed on quite a lot of different flags, doesn't the investigation, incarceration and future punishment of the defecator(s) fall under jurisdiction of an international body, like Interpol and, eventually, UN?

The next question will be whether the investigating officers succeeded to lay their hands of sufficient quantities of proop proof, I mean?

And the last question: don't our judiciary and our cops have anything better to do than pursue a minuscule pimple on the bottom of Israeli art scene for purposes unknown and for motives too stupid to even consider seriously? That, to remind you, while events of much higher impact, including our government being pooped upon (deservedly or not is another matter) by defecators much more important that one Natali Cohen Vaxberg?

WTF, in short?

Update1:  apparently, Ms Vaxberg is not alone in her quest to become rich and famous via her anal deposits. Here is her British doppelganger, one Connor Adams aka Mr OiOi:
What was your slight twist?

I shit in a blender.

Hm?

I pooed in the blender. I think everyone was doing them with like vile stuff - like loads of different alcohol, people were getting injured because of it - so I did one, saying, "It's not just about alcohol." It was about all the nasty shit you find in your fridge and your freezer. So I started putting olives, eggs, mustard, stuff like that, then I obviously added the key ingredient. Which was human faeces, out my arse.

So shitting in a blender really sort of made your career?

It did. I shared the video and then the next morning I'd been shared all over the country, like 533,000 times in the space of 24 hours. Obviously the next day, the next 24 hours I had nigh on 100,000 followers alone just on Facebook. So I set up a Twitter account and that exploded; I had like 14,000 followers within 24 hours.
Whatever it takes, Natali, whatever it takes...
