A Tour of the Mount of Hercules

Yochai Avrahami

2016

The book, which includes text and several linoleum cuts, is an adaptation of a performance work, commissioned by the Academy of the Arts of the World (ADKDW), Cologne, Germany, in fall 2014. The performance included a guided tour by a guide and an assistant, a mountain perched on ruins, with a large white tent on its top. The tent was designed as a temporary museum, displaying the horrors of wartime. The guided tour involved observations and insights into practices of display and commemoration in Germany, Israel, and around the world. The book also contains an introduction by Ekaterina Degot and a text by Esther Dotan.
