SELECTED WORKS · ENGLISH DOORWAY
Eran Landau is an Israeli writer, composer and creator whose work moves between prose, poetry and music. It returns to memory, childhood, desire, loss, identity and the distance between a person and the self. The Hebrew archive remains the primary work; this page offers a small, curated English doorway.
