The Absent Body: Body Imagery between Judaism and Christianity in the Work of Eight Israeli Artists
Product images are for illustrative purposes only and may differ slightly from the actual product
Exhibition catalog examining works by eight Israeli artists, from the 1970′s to the present, in relation to their detachment from, longing for, and return to images of both the body and of divinity. Published by Beit Hatfutsot in 2012, hardback, 118 pages, English/Hebrew.
The Absent Body deals with the dialogue between Israeli art and Jewish identity in a contemporary, local context. The concept underlying this book is based on the longstanding understanding that the “body” in Israeli art is never taken for granted, but is rather a constantly elusive presence, demanding to be redefined. The Absent Body brings together members of several different artistic generations and stylistically diverse works and reveals the central conflict at the heart of the secular Israeli experience over four decades of art making.
