Leonid was an art curator in Ukraine, a man immersed in beauty and thought, until the dissolution of the Soviet Union forced him to emigrate to Jerusalem. There, despite his vast experience, he found himself sweeping the city streets as a daily job. A radical change, which marked not only his social status, but also his sense of self.

One sleepless night, oppressed by nostalgia and frustration, Leonid had an epiphany: why not do what he had always done, even if only with his imagination? Why not curate an exhibition… but on what he now had in his hands every day: a broom?

From this idea a visionary and poetic journey is born, where Leonid immerses himself in an imaginary exhibition that spans 40,000 years of art history, in search of the hidden meaning behind a humble and everyday object. The broom thus becomes a symbol of identity, memory, transformation.

Wearing the VR headset, the audience steps directly into Leonid’s shoes. We start on a lonely street in Jerusalem, at sunset. A broom appears before us. “Sweep, don’t think,” Leonid’s voice tells us — an echo of his daily routine.

But every sweeping gesture, every sweep of the broom, becomes a magical act: the streets transform beneath our feet. From an alley in the city emerges a prehistoric cave with cave paintings; a door opens onto an Egyptian tomb lit up in gold; a lantern guides us to a Chinese shrine under the moon; and finally, we find ourselves on a windswept Dutch road, where Van Gogh is painting a work in which, finally, a humble street sweeper is the protagonist.

Throughout the journey, Leonid himself guides us with his inner voice. He shares intimate thoughts: the pain of exile, the difficulty of communicating in a new language, the distance from his son and his homeland. But with each scene, her mind rekindles. The broom—which before was only a symbol of decadence—now becomes an instrument of redemption, even of beauty.
