© Center for Jewish Art, Photographer: Radovan, Zev,

A black television or computer screen is depicted on the back of a white old fashioned deck chair. Psalm 82 is inscribed on the upper part of the screen in white  Hebrew letters:

מזמור לאסף אלהים נצב בעדת-אל בקרב אלהים ישפט עד מתי תשפטו-עול ופני רשעים תשאו-סלה שפטו-דל ויתום עני ורש הצדיקו פלטו-דל ואביון מיד רשעים הצילו לא ידעו ולא יבינו בחשיכה יתהלכו ימוטו כל-מוסדי ארץ אני-אמרתי אלהים אתם ובני עליון כלכם אכן כאדם תמותון וכאחד השרים תפלו קומה אלהים שפטה הארץ כי-אתה תנחל בכל-הגויים A Psalm of Asaph.

"God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah Defend the poor and fatherless: do justify the afflicted and the needy. Deliver the poor and the needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. They know not, neither will they understand They walk on in darkness: all the foundations of earth are out of course. I have said , Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most high. But ye shall die like man, and fall like one of the princes. Arise, O God, judge the earth; for thou shall inherit all nations." Below this chapter lines and dots are drawn that suggest an open book.
