The video piece (by Yochai Avrahami and Karin Eliyahu) was filmed at Zosha’s House who is a holocaust survivor from Poland. During the war she was adopted by a Polish family where she was disguised as a Polish orphan. Since her arrival to Israel, Zosha has been creating dalls\/mannequins which relate to general Jewish motifs and the holocaust in particular. <\/p>\n

During the film Karin is seen talking to Zosha about her relationship with her adopting mother,about confronting a German soldier and the return of her biological mother at the end of the war.<\/p>\n

The conversation takes place in Zosha’s lounge amongst the presence of the life size mannequins.<\/p>\n

The film has a grotesque feel: agitated shots of the camera, Karin chatting to Zosha while nursing her baby and Zosha’s dolls expressive and surrealistic, hovering around as scarecrows in a bourgeois lounge.
\nThe work relates to the specific area of history passed on by witnesses and holocaust survivors, who were children during the war, a personal account which can be vivid and at times a distorted narrative. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
