Framing
A group of drawings coincidently found in an archive is an important historical document that evoke the psyche of the second and third generation Holocaust survivors; It reveals the intergenerational trauma and an attempt to process it. Framing was created to be displayed in Germany, where Nazi symbols are illegal unless used in an educational context. Accordingly, Framing questions the possibilities and limits of education and commemoration.
Luck / O Lord
Luck / O Lord originates from a Warsaw convenience store snapshot, exploring the "Lucky Jew" figurines in Poland. A photo and poem were shared with musicians and animators for diverse interpretations. The seemingly innocent dolls provoke intense speculation, prompting varied readings through female/male, young/old, and traditional Poles/Jews binaries. The poem, resembling a wooing monologue, engages in a self-reflective dialogue with other poetic works. The resulting 50-minute musical exploration, Luck / O Lord, led to a dynamic 3-hour discussion with experts in antisemitism, anthropology, museum education, and tourism.
