THE EXILE (I-?)
– A Test in Creative Reinventions
The series begins by the waters in a distant land. The tapestries are bound to be numerous and full of contradictions, all of which are true, as the Jewish exile story presents an endless source of expressions for sadness, joy, horror, success, irony, wandering, rescue, humor, longing, and disbelief - just to mention a few.
When I started to explore Judaism, it seemed to me that the word ‘exile’ popped up everywhere: in the liturgy, books, classes, and conversations. I realized that this was a historic heritage and mindset foreign to me. Fascinated, I created this series at the very onset of my project.
