Israeli-born artist Omer Fast kicks off a new multi-year series at the Rose called "Rose Video." First shown at the 2011 Venice Biennale, his video 5000 Feet is Best melds fact and fiction together to explore the shifting divisions between reality and representation, and truth and memory. It opens up a discussion about one of the most pressing issues of today - drone surveillance and warfare.
