This video loop, consists of archival images of mass graves being decomposed into an ever changing kaleidoscopic Mandala, which Carl Jung referred to as a representation of the archetypal self nourishing on the personal and collective subconscious. The colours are drawn from both healing palette and Zyklon B crystals and skin injuries.
The music, “The Death Tango”, was also played by the orchestra of the Janowska death camp during executions.
Human Tapestry, Jacquard fabric, 320x290x120cm, 2015
Fragments taken from duplicated images of mass graves were woven into a Jacquard fabric of the kind that is used for upholstery, thereby associating them with domestic practices and familiar softness. The roll of fabric conveys a sense of concealment while, at the same time, representing endless continuity. This work was produced at Ettun, an Israeli weaving factory whose family history connects with the Holocaust.
A short documentary of the production process of “Human Tapestry”: images of duplicated mass graves are woven into a Jacquard fabric of the kind used for upholstery, thereby associating them with domestic practices and familiar softness.
The Jacquard was produced at “Ettun” family factory, which was established in Germany in 1850 as the “Horn Brothers” and was confiscated by the Nazis.
