Kaddish (excerpt)

3-Channel 35mm Slide Installation

240 photographs

2023 - Ongoing

Kaddish is a book and 3-channel slide installation that reckons with the death of my dad and other loved ones over the past fifteen years. It looks at the manner in which my own experiences with mourning become woven into the fabric of broader historical narratives concerning collective Jewish identity. The project is composed of photographs, screenshots, home movies, Zoom funerals, and iPhone videos depicting the German landscape, Nazi war reenactors, scenes from Israel and the Occupied West Bank, and banal snapshots from daily life in New York. Due to the impossibility of syncing the slide projectors, the images display in continuously changing combinations. In this way, their meanings shift over time, forming a living archive of memory that is perpetually incomplete.


From the exhibition:

Material/Inheritance: Contemporary Work by New Jewish Culture Fellows

The Jewish Museum of Maryland

March 26 - June 11, 2023

Curated by Leora Fridman


(Artist Book published in 2024)
