Tom Pnini is an Israeli artist who currently lives and works in New York.  He uses video and sculpture to create large-scale interventions in public spaces, exploring his fascination with the theatre world by using man-powered sculptures that contain characteristics similar to theatrical sets. While the illusion of these can be mesmerizing, the artifice is obvious, and one is caught in perpetual cycles of the suspension of disbelief, nostalgia, and humor. http://tompnini.com/
