Hedgerow, knitted installation (wool, felt, wire, embroidery thread, gas pipes), 250x150x750cm, 2018.
Installation view of Kibbutz Buchenwald, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, 2018
Based on a 1943 letter in which the commandant of Auschwitz extermination camp ordered the director of the SS agricultural branch to obtain bushes, shrubs and trees that would serve as natural camouflage to hide the crematoriums. The installation simulates a live wall that acts as an architectural screen in the exhibition space. The piece was made in collaboration with the Kuchinate collective who held public knitting circles at Tel Aviv museum of Art. 265 volunteers answered an open call and took part in crocheting woollen leaves into a knitted hedgerow.
Taken from Species of Space by George Perec 1974
