Video art The Long Arm of the Law (2002) Inventory (2001) - Doron Solomons reviews his life about the material inventory of all his belongings. Beginning with his wife to counting all the cassette tapes and things in his life, Solomons reflects on materialism as a whole and the proprietary relationship between a man and a woman. Group Picture with a War (2005) – commissioned by the In Flanders Fields Museum to create a work from their collection of films dating back to World War I, Solomons unsurprisingly chose all the “behind-the-scenes” depictions, gaps, and intervals between battles: the men in the trenches, sleeping, treating the wounded.
