WILD BET

Wild Bet is an exhibition that focuses on gambling as a socio-psychological phenomenon. The exhibition is a theatrical installation in which artist duo Gil & Moti take the viewer into a world of public gambling machines, seductive gambling halls, simple back rooms and illegal gambling, and into the promise of happiness they offer. The artists saw a connection between the chances gamblers take in the hope of monetary luck and the gamble that migrants take when they leave their home in the hope of a better life. They delved into the gambling scenes of three different cities – Rio de Janeiro, Helsinki and Rotterdam – where they talked to migrants about their motives and their lives. Website
