Aftermath
Galia Gur Zeev
2009
The exhibition Aftermath is the first part of three: "Toda Vida" and "urishash" which dealt with the process of emptying my parents' house after my father's death. I documented the house with all its contents as it appeared from the end of the seven days of mourning, as it appeared from the moment the last tenant, my father, left it. The house on its full contents, the stages of emptying and evacuation until it is empty. At the exhibition, Aftermath, I presented interior photographs of the house's spaces at the end of the process. The photographs document the traces and marks left by the furniture, objects and marks on the walls after the hanging pictures were removed from them.
