And a River Went Out of Eden

The book And a River Went Out of Eden was published as part of Elyakim’s exhibition at the Schocken Library, Jerusalem, in 2018. The library building was erected in 1936 for Zalman Schocken’s book collection and was designed by Erich Mendelsohn, one of the most important architects of the 20th century and a formulator of modern architecture.
The book includes the texts “The Library” by Maayan Elyakim, “Strange Stones and Good Neighbors” by Jesse Lockard and Rotem Linial, documentation of the library and the exhibition, and a book-version for the work First Six Panels.
