"THE SHARING PROJECT"

The Sharing Project is an art installation and movie by Joel Tauber that poses questions about whether we share enough in our Capitalist world. It focuses on the seemingly simple task of Tauber teaching his young son Zeke to share. As Zeke and Joel struggle to understand what sharing means and how much they should share, experts in different fields offer their thoughts, creating more complexity and questions. In pursuit of answers, Zeke and Joel turn to the forgotten Socialist Jewish commune of Happyville (1905-1908) in South Carolina, hoping that some of the mysteries of sharing are buried in the traces of the utopian community.

Joel is an artist and filmmaker. He loves looking at the world through his Zeiss prime lenses, and it is very hard for him to share them… For more about Joel and his other projects, please visit http://joeltauber.com
