Table

1997
A box of postcards
A box of limited edition postcards that shows photos from the installation work 'Table' from 1997. Curator Tali Tamir wrote about the work in the curatorial text: "In the case of 'Table', the process distilled the presence of the family members into a system concise, complex and delicate, each of its members is a single and detached entity connected at the same time by hidden veins from the eye... To the others: father, mother, husband, daughter, nephew, close friend, and good friend. The concept of family, present as an identical template behind the title 'table', crosses the daily dimension of eating - drinking - struggle - forces, to a monolithic place of emotional connection beyond voices and silence."
