The couple's work spans more than five decades, and is rooted in the local avant-garde culture. In the work Mr. Haim: The Fish is a Bird's Head serves the couple's private archive and artistic creation as a site of artistic cannibalism, challenging the boundaries of language and good taste. In the mouth of the mucus drinker were compressed and dismantled into syllables parts (bodies) of the work: rabbit and duck, wolf and penguin, and one Jonathan - "Capricorn in his mother's milk".
