In his work ‘Asylum’, Be’er examines concepts such as identity, foreignness, oppression, discrimination, domination, freedom, belonging, immigration, homeland, longing, and home. These concepts are relevant to every human being from an existential view, wherever he or she may happen to be situated in place and time. The quest for a place that is identified as a home is part of the human existential experience.
In relation to the present moment in which we are in, the reality touches on subject matters within Asylum as we are all witnesses to the millions of asylum seekers that are escaping wars and conflicts across the globe, trying to find their place where they will feel safe. 'Uga, Uga', a popular Israeli nursery rhyme is heard in Hebrew as part of the soundtrack of 'Asylum.'
"Round and around,
In a circle we walk around,
In a circle all day long,
Till we find our place.
Sit, stand.
Sit, stand.
Sit and stand.
Till we find our place."
