How does contepmorary Jewish art deals with the memory of the Holocaust? In a new gallery called "Friday Night", Israeli artist Erez Israeli confronts the memory of the Holocaust in a very unusual way. Erez uses visual art to make a saying about memory, death, perpetuation. In a new exhibition the Israeli artist presents us with a series of disturbing objects: at the center stands a kitchen table with food on it surrounded by death trains. Also a doll, kitchen wear, a collection of yellow badges , which were kept after the Holocaust and sold on Ebay in a few dollars. What does that say about the world that we live in I wonder.
There is also an image that shows a man's chest with a yellow badge painted on it. Erez is known for the way he deconstructs symbols with the same tools that have built them. Click here for pictures from the gallery.
